Len:

As long as evil exists in the world, there will always be a "John Smith"
to oppose it--a thousand deaths and the spirit of John Smith will live on.
This man is invincible and immortal, death is only a tunnel to the next
life, and to pick up the fight of evil men once again!

We stand at a unique time in history. The "Cult of the arrl" has fallen,
yet refuses to die an easy death. The ancient cloistered walls of blood
sucking amateurs is being thrown open to air the uncounted ancient pharts
which have polluted these halls. The evil deeds which have been done here
haunt the walls like insane spirits of ill will and dangerous plans.

The candle of progress threatens to cast light into even the darkest
corners of this ancient monastery. Those ancient ones (amateurs) who have
halted progress and kept radio as their personal "Moose Lodge" will have
their names despised and stricken from the records as a movement on the
scale of a "Biblical Event" slays the evil spirits who have brought radio
to its knees and sucked the blood from it veins. The stake is poised over
these black hearts of these evil men and the mallet begins its deadly
plunge towards its target...

A bright day is coming, "God Bless Amateur Radio!" We move towards the
day when extras and chicken banders will live in harmony!

Those brave men who still exist move to pick up their light-sabers and
enter the fray....

On the 'morrow we pray the battlefield be littered and deep with the
bodies of our enemies...

Luke Skywalker --AKA-- John Smith

With each passing year mother nature war on the ancient brass pounders
continues. This story has been told in many different countries in many
different forms, here we are probably most familiar with "The Rabbit and
the Hare."

Slow and steady stay the course, in the end progress and determination
succeed...

Thanks for a mediocre Obi Wan Kenobi imitation. sigh

Problem is, I ain't Luke Skywalker...but all the pro-coders
think they are Dearth Voder.

Tsk. I was giving you only a little insight how things
were IN HERE about 6 to 7 years ago. Was no "John Smith"
in here then.
