Don't mistake good manners for weakness.

BAM! Hammer hit's nail directly on head.

What hammer? What nail?

As I've suspected, you have no idea of the things going on around you.

Habitat for inHumanity, no doubt.

I don't "demand" anything, nursie.

No? So all you do is see any comment by anyone opposed to your
outsider's view of amateur radio as a demand or an order?

I said you were a kook. Len defended you.

See what kind of thanks I get, Brian? :-)

Certainly not the marching in
ranks to the beat of morse under the Newington flag like the
proud noble amateurs did in the 1930s...

Don't worry about it, old timer. You aren't part of the ranks. Let me
know if you dig up any photos or 16mm movies of radio amateurs marching
under that Newington flag.

With a wrenchy stitch hooked around their scapula.

...or through it.

Even in the old days, those ancient mariners paraded around with
a morse key hanging around their necks like albatrosses.

I see myself as just trying to get rid of the morse code test for U.S.
amateur radio licensing. :-)

I see myself using an American dictionary and spelling without so
many U letters...such as in "savriour."

Go for it, "Atila" (your spelling). How's your little "synchophant"
(your spelling), "William" (his spelling of 'Brian')?

Odd. I don't see Len spelling Atila. How are you, little piddle branch?

Smokey the Boor has elitist spelling problems when trying
to play headmaster in here.

He didn't correct Coslo on a word. Coslo is PCTA.

It's a band of "brothers." [a dysfunctional family, no doubt]

I see myself in the mirror every time I look into one.

How do you live with that pain?

I couldn't? Sorry, but I DID get professionally published...for
money!

Do those who are professionally published for no money operate under
some sort of barter system?

French bread?

French dressing. His "salad days" that he is trying to turn into
his "salute days." :-)

He tries for French Toast but all the egg went on his face...

The problem is he came into the Amateur Radio arena with the same
"You'd
darned well better listen to me because I know better than you" attitude
and
now he wonders why no one (save the lame, lazy and easily
impressionable)
want anything to do with him or his opinions.

Nursie be gone, outasight, cracked-up, bonkers, nuts.

I'm guessing that most who read Steve's statement found it accurate.

But certainly not all. Most look other way. Called Yell Yell enablers.

PCTA all stick together. Weird sort of glue used.

Das robust oberst "guesses" a lot. In PCTA circles that makes his
"guesses" absolutely unequivocally "correct." [they defend their own]
[have to, nobody else really wants to defend the indefensible...]

Hmmm...this thread was originally about "FCC Office Testing
History." Nobody talks about that...too busy doing the "good fight"
on the "superiority" of elitist morsemen extras.

I was last at an FCC Field Office about 1980. Not for any test,
just paperwork on a business radio. Took a real test at a real FCC
Field Office in 1956...commercial license test, passed First 'Phone
in one sitting (in Chicago). Not the same as ham test. Ham test
is far, far "superior." Have to bow head and genuflect as elitist
morsemen extras pass. They be "superior." Ave!

Should have moved...Chicago beside Lake Michigan, not Lake
SUPERIOR. :-)
