Yep, more attacks, no solutions offered... but then, that is quite
natural for here... now back to:

1) analyze the problem to death.
2) claim there is nothing wrong
3) claim even if there is something wrong, nothing will work to fix it.
4) pretend no one notices what is really going on
5) go back to the few old guys on the net and rant with them.
6) pretend that we will live forever
7) argue one new license a year is enough
8) don't ask the people who are NOT hams why they don't get a license
9) if they tell us why--deny that it is a valid reason
10) carry on as if it is still yesterday.
11) etc, etc, etc...

.... yawn...

Mike:

Let me break this to you gently, what you have to say is just not
important in the whole scheme of things--a year from now we will see
what we all feel as whole--after debate and argument...

I didn't come here for you to teach me english--rant on if you
must--just know it is ignored...

No, there is little need for interpretation of what you say, it is
obvious:
1) there is no problem
2) even if a problem exists--no reason to worry
3) we need not do anything
4) I (Mike, meaning YOU) am happy, everyone else shut up and go away
5) status quo is all which matters
6) etc, etc, etc

I don't make personal attacks--however, if the truth offends someone,
so be it...

Dee steps into the ring and spars for a couple seconds.........

However looking in the wrong places for solutions won't solve the
problem either.

You want to repeat solutions that haven't worked.

She lands a quick right.


You ignore the concept that the average age of our entire population
is rising.

Quick feint...

You ignore the idea that radio will only appeal to certain types of
people.

A few hits to the midsection....

You ignore the fact that many people simply don't know about ham
radio.

another feint..

You ignore the fact that all hobby activities are having trouble
getting new members because now everyone is split over more
activities than ever before and that it's not unique to ham radio.

Followed by a quick hit to the head.

You think one "magic bullet" (eliminating the code test) will fix the
problem.

Stunning the opponent, who falls to the canvas.....

Changing the testing requirements are highly unlikely to cause a
significant impact because they do not address the main issues.

And at last, a scene reminding me of the famous shot of Muhammad Ali
standing over Jim Frasier....

And since we are making sports comparisons,

Game, Set, Match, Dee.

(who is sitting here tonight, listening to my newly resurrected
Heathkit HW-22 tube rig, while using my other radio to work psk-31,
and typing a few notes via the internet....)

It's all good......
