Oh my, yet another version of the "Hans Is A Radio Hero" story.
Down at the Legion, they have at least five or six different
versions of the story, with the best versions being told after several
shot 'n beers are consumed by the grand story teller.
Yawwwwwwwwwwwwwwn, why do old men never tire of telling
borrrrrrrrrrrrrring embellished war stories?

Sparks



Hardly embellished; Hans has his citation.

What, might I gently ask, have you done for this country? One doesn't
progress beyond E-7 by being a bullsh*t artist, you know .... )


Really Most miliatry promotion, indeed most promotions in Government
and private industry is some form of politics.

Bull**** well spun get some people very far indeed Clinton for example.

Perhaps you'd care to share your expertise in communications.

That may figure into it, but I was there and Hans did provide the
communications. Anyone can spin any way they wish, but it won't affect me.
I know. I was there.

Bull**** well spun .... well, I can still QLF faster than a lot of folks can
copy .... )

Not that this is terribly important. I always enjoy hearing the folks with
the naysaying. It cost my former employer fairly big time. Sigh ... you'd
think that they would have understood when I did a project 25 years ago ....
well, I did the thing again and when the plant was going to close, I simply
kept it to myself. No big deal as I developed it on my time on my computer
on my legal software at home )

The problem is that if this situation is repeated many tens of thousands of
times, it could be a possible problem. It may well be; I don't concern
myself with that. I worry about folks that worry about others. To the
selfish, I have no obligation.

You do remind me, however, that I should finish the thing and offer it to a
Japanese outfit for $1.00 since everyone at the former employer wanted to
steal everything from me. Two $25.00 Wegman's certificates for the code I
wrote to generate printer legends? And they put it on the Mexican lines?
And not on the American lines? Code I largely wrote at home?

I did have to laugh, however. One time I showed them how to shave over 1/2
second off cycle times (and improved that by another .7 second with
mechanical adjustments - no increase in mechanical speed) and they went and
tried to apply it to several other machines. They spent tens of thousands -
only to get little or no improvement. I could have told them that, but I
guess the young and anxious can win the arguements.

However, age and treachery will win in the end ))

Fasten your seatbelts, it's going to be a bumpy ride LOL.
