Yep.

Also I'm not sure why you call him a *******. Most everyone here, on
both sides of the Morse question, respect him as a "stand up" sort of
guy who voices his views in reasoned language without resorting to
personal attacks.

He's the sort of person who does what he says he's going to do, which is
just
another example of how "stand up" guys act. He said he'd be there on 7037,
and
he was. More then once, too. He said Morse Code was his favorite fun mode,
and
he demonstrated that he does indeed use it and enjoy it.

I think Cecil was self-adulating crank but that is only my (most)
humble opinion.

I used to think that, but after a while I realized he was just a champion
leg-puller.

He certainly was not the genius he made himself out to
be but hey, no one who ever makes that claim is. No one who claims to
be in mensa ever really is.

I remember telling him something to the effect that if you have to *tell*
others that you're a genius, you ain't.

It's like comedy - the audience decides what's funny and what isn't, not the
would-be comedian.
