Careful, Brian...remember that J.P. "serves his country" (by being
a super-special amateur morseman).


Did Jim ever write anything like that, Leonard, or is it something you
claim?

Jim never said the "serves his country", at least followed with the
rest of that sentence. I wonder what the deal is with a qoute followed
by an statement in paren? An inferred quote? OY!


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

Well, I'm off sick today. But otherwise yes.

What are those "other" ways?

You could try to find out

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

No. I don't have anything to do with Morse code.

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

That is a job much better done by others.


If you say nasty to him or Coslo, you will be accused of TRYING
TO DESTROY HAM RADIO!!!! :-)


Say nasty? Why would you do that?

My deduction is taken from what he has written that is *not* the saying
nasty part. The pejoratives and insults are just part of the background
noise.


HYPOCRISY ALERT!

Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. PCTA extra Double Standard.

OK, let us work with your paranoia. Anyone against the morse code
test for a license is "destroying amateur radio!"

Incorrect. There is a world of difference between yourself and people
such as Bill Sohl and Carl Stevenson.

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.

As it should.

But, to the irrational, plus those with such thin skins to be sorely
wounded by the slightest negativism against morse code, being
against the morse code test is "destroying amateur radio!"

I'm sure you feel obliged to sync your phants with those irrationalists.



"They" do? What are you doing, Leonard?


Trying to argue for the elimination of the morse code test. :-)

Well start some Morse code threads! 8^) I might even drop in on them
from time to time.

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

I believe that is your job.
