Kelly:

You don't see a problem, you are unaware that a problem exists and/or
are in denial... for you, we will come back again next year and look at
the license figures again--you simply need more proof and a year should
in time should provide it... when we reach a point where you finally
admit there is a problem--we will be able to move forward from there...

Warmest regards,

You just dismissed the fact that Haynie is seeing a real problem

Bull****, he cited several completely separate problems and I already
stated that I more or less agree with him on all counts.

he is beginning to tell hams to stop acting like such immature jerks
and
get with the program--you take these words are turn them into him
giving
you an "Atta Boy!"

"Atta Boy" for WHAT??

If you are fool enough to believe that you will have to... such
denial,
avoidance and BS has stagnated us to the point where all there are,
are
a bunch of guys out there too old to be of interest to QSO with--the
young guys know that and you can tell them different till the cows
come
home--it will not change one thing...

What do you suggest? That the seniors quit ham radio?

I am 52 and most are too old for me...

. . that's obvious but not for the reasons you think it is . .

long winded rants about
yesteryear and such is a real turn off to this guy...

Too damned bad about that, they have the licenses and they're allowed
to chit chat about history if that's their interest. If you don't like
it fine, twist the big knob on the front of your radio and go
somewhere
else which is what I do.

I cringe when I
see the expressions on the young mens face who hear it on my demos of
radio...

Yeah yeah, the kids I hung out with on the corner a half century ago
didn't think much of ham radio either.

You sit there thinking all is well--I can tell you are past anything
but
an argument for maintaining status quo...
You really mean to tell me you feel the bands out there are
"congested?"

Where the hell have I used the term "congestion" anywhere ?!

Tell someone without a radio--they just might believe you...
We both hear Haynies words you think he is saying, "Good Job Guys!"
I
challenge that all right, I hear him saying, "Get with it old
fools!!!"

You're simply an irrational/incoherent waste of bandwidth and time.
'Bye.
