So just change the meaning of the acronym to suit your
purposes, right?

If someone is transmitting from a humdred feet away with a
microwatt power, it's DX? Wake up.

That's it! Stand up for literalism!! I mean that literally. Get on your
feet and stand up!! Don't back down! Give 'em an inch and they'll take a
mile. And in inch terms, a mile is certainly DX.

Beats the hell out of standing up for sloppy thought. DX is
an explicit reference to reception of distant stations and has been
ubnderstood that way for decades. If they're nearby, it's not DX. If
you don't like it, think up a different acronym and pervert it to
whatever your taste is at the moment.

Why not call it radar? What the hell, it's all electromagnetic
waves anyway.

Oh, I didn't catch your rant in the last "This is a SHORTWAVE RADIO group"
subthread. If you missed your chance, don't worry.

**** off, lunatic. If you can't recognize your own spew as a
rant, you have no standing to criticize anyone else.

If you miss one off
topic thread, they'll be another one.

If going off-topic so offends you, what are you doing in this
part of the thread. Go home and be happy. Droolingly happy.
