This isn't "playing." Considering change to government regulations
is really serious business.

The mighty macho morsemen have NOT earned as much "respect"
as they claim they are owed.


And it is a very good thing that the NCTA's and interested others are
not that way, eh?

Actually, we NCTAs were NOT that way.

Eventually, when enough **** is thrown at you for no good reason,
one is going to throw it right back.

PCTAs have been tossing **** about mighty morse for decades,
rationalizing its test existance by very old myths. Some of them
have convinced themselves that they are just so wonderful that
their word is that of radio gods.

After a while that gets very tiring. Try about four decades of it
and you will get a mental picture for yourself.

It gets worse when someone, anyone, tries to argue rationally
with those PCTA gods of radio. They are above argument but they
are not beneath tossing more and more **** on the persons who
are trying to argue rationally.

If you feel so outraged, then, by all means, petition the FCC to change
the name of the ARS to the Archaic Radiotelegraphy Society.

Very little outrages me. I think that may be your game, not mine.

I sense you have some rage there someplace. You've been slightly
brainwashed by league propaganda and want to follow the party line.
Then you discover that there's lots of folks who aren't so brainwashed
and you don't like it (for whatever reason).

Don't go into too much rationalized denial there. It's a common thing
among relatively new hams.
