All that's needed is for
him to obtain a valid amateur radio license, and an amateur radio station.

Why are you so focussed on all MUST have a ham license to
discuss anything in here?

Where did I say that?

Jim, that is a pervasive theme in RRAP, the "requirement" of having an
amateur radio license to discuss things -radio- related.


One of your continuing problems is that of telling the difference
between what you think has been written and what has actually been
written.


David, one of your continuing problems is that you assume that all of
the RRAP rules are written. Some rules born out my your actions, not
necessarily carved in stone with a flood light illuminating it.


I'm really having trouble deciphering "born out my your actions".
Did you perhaps mean "Some rules borne out by your actions"?
Was there supposed to be a verb in there somewhere? I made no comments
concerning "the RRAP rules", written or otherwise.

Firstly, this isn't a "radio-related" newsgroup.


But it is.


No, it isn't. Read statement below:

It is an "amateur
radio-related" newsgroup.


Please try to keep up. Notice the second "R" in RRAP? Amateur radio
is radio related.


This is not a general interest radio newsgroup.

Len discusses and discusses.


David decides and decrees.

"One of your problems is..."


....and an illustration was provided.

"This has not been written..."


....is not a quote from me.

"This is not a radio related..."


Actually, this one should have been "This is not a 'radio-related'..."
and it isn't. This newsgroup concerns amateur radio policy, not
broadcast radio policy, Citizens Band radio policy, GMS radio policy or
general radio policy. You can try making this into a "Sorry, Hans.
Mars is" argument but I'm not buying it.

Mostly, his
windbag routine consists of insulting radio amateurs and the ARRL.
Sometimes he includes personal historical data having nothing to do with
amateur radio. Very little of what he posts has a thing to do with any
current or past amateur radio policy matter.


Like "shooting bears?" I didn't see you complaining about that.


Actually, that was in response to one of Windy's tales of Soviet Bears,
"Willie".

If you missed it, then you must must be necrotic. If you support it,
then you do so by your silence, as you do so many other topics on
RRAP. Schindler.


I note your silence on gay marriage. By your silence, you must support
it.


I don't believe that it has been a topic of discussion.


See, you've been silent on it. You must condone it.

Are you making it one?


I can, if you like.

You've been awfully silent on the matter of Scott Pederson. It
could be said that you must support him.


I don't believe that Scott Pederson has been a topic of discussion.


By your silence on the matter, you must support him, according to your
rules.

Are you making him one?


I can, if you like.

So you're either for it or agin it. Support Kelly, Heil, and Robeson?


...or he couldn't care less.


You get vociferous if Len does something, yet strangely silent if
Kelly or Robeson does something Quitesimilar.


It is up to Jim whether he cares to comment on a post or not. It is up
to me whether I choose to comment on a post or not. If it bothers you,
do try and get over it.

Time to get off of the fence.


I'd strongly suggest that you do so--especially if you're sitting on top
of one of the posts.


The only thing I've been on the fence over was the renewal of my ARRL
membership when the ARRL was recommending a license structure that I
couldn't support. That was years ago.

I've been very clear on other topics.


....or so you seem to believe.

Are you now making fenceposts the topic of discussion?


Check it out, "William". You brought up fences.
