One could sumise that if all the other ships in the area were
taking it slow, Titanic should have taken heed and go slow
as well. One doesn't have to have knowledge of a field to
realize that. I'm sure that the ship's owners would have preferred
and understood a late but intact Titanic at the destination.
Maybe the ship was "unsinkable" but I wouldn't want to test
that with paying passangers aboard.

Robert, I will agree with you, but what happened to the Titanic
NINETY-TWO YEARS AGO isn't really a subject of this
newsgroup and doesn't come close (maybe a couple of light-
years) to amateur radio policy. :-)

So what, Len? Much of what you talk about doesn't come close to amateur
radio policy either.

That anyone should chide another on OT posting here in rrap is mildly
amusing.

Agreed! Len does more OT posting than anybody,

and is told more often than anybody that he is OT.

Not by me! AFAIC Lenover21 can post on anything he wishes to.

Glad to hear it. The same cannot be said for Kelly, Jim, Dave, or
dare I say Steve?

Really, there isn't a need for any of us to be sensitive about this
stuff. It is after all, USENET.

It's not being sensitive about being told. It's just that those doing
the telling are some of the worst offenders, i.e., PCTA double
standard.

Heh heh. One of those offenders claims to be a working
professional (i.e., performs electronics work for monetary
compensation) electronics engineer...who implies that
"professionals" don't do good work, make mistakes, etc.
That one hasn't identified his employer on the basis of
"other reasons." :-)

All because of not loving his favorite radio mode, morse
code. :-)

The gist of what the PCTAs in here rant about is the attempts
to demonize all the NCTAs for not believing as they do. They
can't make a good case to keep the code test so they resort
to personal insults, pejoratives againt the NCTAs. NOT a good
case to present for retaining any code test...or even to show
the amateur radio hobby in a good light.
