You may be "interested" in obtaining a pilot's license.

Not now. I once was, but the cost of aircraft ownership was
prohibitive then, still is. :-)

You may tell
anyone on the planet that you have an interest in obtaining a pilot's
license.

Why must I tell "everyone?" :-)

or anyone

You may even do so for decades.

You may haunt a pilot's newsgroup.

I don't.

But you don't become a pilot until you obtain the license.

Untrue. Only to be a LEGAL pilot, Herr Robust.

I really don't know WHY you introduce this NON-subject into
an amateur radio policy newsgroup, Herr Robust. You are
venturing far afield from the general subject matter.

Sorry lLen I have to call you on that
you know exactly why Dave is doing this

Well, true enough, Mark...but I have to be KIND to the
old man. He IS a "superior" amateur, you see (by
his own description)...:-)

he has nothing of value to say and so is resorting to bloviation to
try to confuse the unwary

He doesn't confuse me, he doesn't confuse you, and probably
doesn't confuse anyone else. Just himself in thinking he had
some kind of sharp retort by that "analogy." :-)

Well, now Herr Robust is going to get all hissy-fitting again
and send a very lonnnnnng reply full of nastygram remarks.

SOP :-)
