I'm glad your laughing, because I certainly am!

Don't worry Steve, we're laughing at you, not with you.

That's OK.

Meanwhile, I'm laughing at YOU because you apparently are
unable or unwilling to pass a simple test. But hey, you can
wait a while longer and perhaps they'll be giving that ticket
away with the Cracker-Jack.

Best of luck.


Hey DxAce..how does it feel to have worked so hard to pass a test
that means absolutely nothing today. Morse code has no use
because nobody is listening. You can count yourself as the proud
owner of a certificate that proves you can mimic the operation of
a very slow data modem. You can send and transcribe text at a
rate that would put most readers to sleep.

Ya know, I think I'm really starting to come to my senses. How
could I have been so wrong for so long? I mean, what business did I
have taking a test that would actually give me the privilege of
doing something I wanted to do. How foolish of me.

You know John, I actually pretty envious of you. Here I've been
coasting along with my General Class license all these years, years
that I've wasted. Crap, I could've been a 'tard boy like you all
these years, and I didn't even realize it.

Tell me John, just what have I missed in the wonderful world of
'tardism by wasting my time obtaining that dumbass license?


DxAce, you will have to answer that one - I have no idea what would
prompt someone to learn a skill with no application.

Snip

It's called taking up a hobby like listening to short wave radio, ham
radio, stamp collecting. He was interested in learning a skill and
broadening his horizons.

It's pretty rude to characterize someone else's interests as a waste of
time. What other people like to do has nothing to do with what John S.
likes to spend his time doing.

Here is a tip for all posters to Usenet, when you respond to a post
pretend the original poster is in front of you and read your response
out loud before you hit the send button. Don't send it until you think
the other person will not want to take a swing at you after reading it.
