Yup -- there are many who are a lot better. Sorry, but when we're
talking about amateur radio operators, you're not one of them!

Literally.

No kidding? You got soma come loud ratings in college for all
that reasoning? Did you get a brain cell graft or something.

Here's a Clue, bus driver:

Lennie:

Again, more jealousy over the fact that I have an occupation which I enjoy
and which allows me to help people on a daily basis. You have my
sympathy.

The FCC doesn't require a single
commissioner or staff to hold amateur radio licenses in order to
MAKE the amateur radio regulations or enforce them.

Really? Hmmm -- I guess that would explain why we don't hear many of
them on-the-air (or you, for that matter!)

Are you electronically connected here and formerly on FIDONET
BECAUSE no one could "come close to you?"

Uh, no -- mainly because I have a computer with a modem! I'm sort of
surprised that you didn't know how that worked!

I'm surprised you know how to dial into an ISP without using morse
code. Modems don't have morse keys.

Don't look now, Lennie, but Modems don't use Morse code, therefore no
key is required.

Try regular bathing. It might help.

Bathing my computers? Now that you mention it, they are a bit dusty...
but I doubt that tossing them into the bathtub would do them any good.

Using them the way you do doesn't do anyone much good.

(Oooops, guess I just left you an opening you can drive a Kenworth with
a 53' trailer through! Oh, well -- you need all the help you can get!)

Not really needing your "help," sweatbreath.

I'm glad to see that my obsessive dental hygiene has paid off!

You just keep tawking tuff to the group on how you got all those great
grades in college and could get any personnel job you wanted...all
through the dedication and resolve that made you Wonder Ham with
morse code.

I haven't talked about that lately, mainly because you keep bringing
it up!

You never used any 63/37 solder? Tsk, tsk, tsk.

Nope, never hoid of it. Must be something special. What's it used for?

Have you learned to solder yet?

Yes, around age 10. Since then, I've soldered everything from water pipe
joints to printed circuits. But nothing requiring 63/37, yet. I guess that
leaves me way out of your league. Oh well.
