Everything RAN just fine...using the word "ran" (or "run") as in
an adminstrative action or organizing, starting, keeping it going, and
finally take-down.

How do you know?

The L.A. TIMES reported that, several TV news programs reported
that, and at least one official with the Marathon said so to me.

Is everyone required to wait for the "official" word from the ARRL
on the verdict?!?!?

You are mighty peevish again, perceiving personal insults at the
slightest provocation.

Not me. You're the one shouting and calling names.

I didn't name anyone in the Marathon. :-)

The very first marathons didn't need any ham radio to help them.

Why do you keep implying that marathons MUST have ham
radio help to be successful?

My marathon PR (personal record) is 3 hours 57 minutes 37 seconds.

Have you written the Guiness editors yet?

You sound jealous, Len.

Of what? :-)

You haven't proved anything about ham radio being NECESSARY
to stage and operate any marathon.

What's your marathon PR, Len?

I don't do Public Relations any more,

Good. Your style here indicates you'd be very bad at it.

Tsk, tsk, tsk..."you sound jealous." :-)

Consider that Sports CARS are in Road Races...on roads.

They're not allowed in the LA Marathon.

Never said they were.

Road Races are run by sports cars on roads.

Marathoners run on foot.

TAFKARJ sounds like he is developing Road Rage... :-)

They're called road races, Len.

I KNOW some sports car racing events are called ROAD RACES.

Try not to be too much like the Schoolmaster who was once
assigned to the far Amana Colonies...

As suspected, you were not involved in the LA Marathon in any way except as a
distant spectator.

Do you now need the EXACT distance from my TV set to the
northernmost point on the marathon route?!?!?!

You're getting to be as nuts as the gunnery nurse.

I has WRITTEN IN PUBLIC that I WATCHED the marathon. Are
your eyes shot from all that running exertion that you can't read?

But, you never answered about "carrying a code key" while
running. Do you?

You've never said anything about "working DX" while running
either.

Is RUNNING (on foot) something REQUIRED in amateur radio?

Or are you personally disturbed because no one ackhnowledges
your fleetness of foot and renowned running time?

Go rent a DVD of "The Running Man." Consider that the star
managed to get elected to Governor of a state. Aim high,
TAFKARJ. Governorship is far better than ham radio...you could
win and tell MILLIONS what to do and how to behave!

Now, what in the world has all this fuss and bother you are stirring
to do with AMATEUR RADIO?

Sorry to divert you from all those splended AMATEUR RADIO
subjects like national economy, politics, morality, kosher food.

You keep up the good work and keep on essaying in the newsgroup
every day. Folks are hanging on every word...or is that wanting to
hang you for all those words? :-)

Walk the plonk...
