Tsk. Don't YOU "serve your country in other ways?"

What are those "other" ways?

Are you preserving and protecting morse code for posterity like a
national treasure?

Or are you just preserving and protecting your posterior by
running
around saying "I never said that and neither did anyone else?"

What ways are YOU serving, Lennie?

Filling sandbags at one mysterious "diaster" in 19 70-something
was the LAST contribution we were treated to.

Of course, considering your embittered and belittling rants
against anyone who dares to do anything that doesn't involve an
exchange of coin-of-the-realm for thier services, one could
successfully argue that by staying out of our way was, in it's own
twisted way, a "service". You'd just get your feelings trampelled on
when no one immediately recognized your infinite wisdom on yet ANOTHER
discipline in which you have no practical experience and you'd then be
on yet another rantfest.

So...U.S. amateur radio is all about morse code and taking the
morse
code test?

That seems very odd. In fact, it seems irrational...to normal
folks.

Actually, YOU are the ONLY one in this forum trying to make that
assertion!

That you are neither an Amateur licensee, nor have you ever been
one is the really irrational part.

Tsk. There's so much background noise about personalities in
here it's almost impossible to get back to the subject.

There's nothing to discuss. Lennie.

Nothing else said in this forum will affect the decisions to be
made in Washington.

Now, you go back to "serving your country in those OTHER ways."

In what ways do YOU serve your country, Lennie?

Please do not tell us about all those battlefield sacrifices in
1950. You weren't there. If you suffered so much as a scuffed knee in
the Army, it was from being down on them trying to convince SOMEone of
your value to the Army.

As we can see, it was ineffectual.

Your country thanks you.

Yours would thank you, Lennie, if we could find something in the
last 50 years to thank you FOR.

Putz.
