Yeah...right...

Since his claim has been proven to be false so many times, Steve, why do
you
bother with him?

TAFKARJ, my theory is that he can't help himmself. He is obsessed with Len.

There's more to that than is apparent on the surface.

The PCTAs all use misdirection via questions or "challenges" on other
subjects in order to divert the thread away from the morse code test
issue. By being sufficiently inflamatory, those misdirections now
attract others who just want to fight and holler at others. The threads
diverge and take on new subjects and the PCTAs are saved...their
arguments for retention of the code test were not viable so they feel
secure in not having "lost."

TAFKARJ uses the newsgroup as a Chat Room to talk about almost
anything BUT the morse code test and ventures far, far afield from
amateur radio policy subjects, so far that they don't include any
amateur radio at all. He wants to be an essayist.

Mr. Foreign Service (who doesn't know that the Amana Colonies are
in Iowa!) simply wants to fight. He isn't quite so obsessed as the
gunnery nurse but he has the arrogance of an SA fairy. He likes to
use the misdirection of "He's an amateur and I ain't" (in varying words)
therefore trying to imply that I am "nothing." :-)

The gunnery nurse is just nuts and can't get his act together. He
can't take the slightest negative comment without going berserk.

A common trait among them is one of Control. They want (perhaps
need) to moderate the newsgroup to their view, their opinions, their
personal likes/dislikes. Control and Ego together to build the concept
of righteous service to the nation by being hams.

Amateur radio is supposed to be an enjoyable hobby. But, with the
tree regulars mentioned above (up a tree without a piddle), it's all
one of being inordinately proud of their imaginary world and a desire
to be respected because of that Belief.

The morse code test is being removed from the regulations of many
nations' amateur radio. PCTAs cannot abide by that. They remain
in denial since loss of the morse test is a loss to their self-esteem.
They can't use that mighty morse test as a bragging point if it is
eliminated. "If they had to take a morse test, EVERYBODY has to
take a morse test to be as 'good' as they."
