NOT a "company man" attitude.

Absolutely correct. Carl is a loose cannon and not a good team player.

Carl was already to be
excluded from the coterie of coders that makes up the
conclave of wirepullers in the ARRL.

Wirepullers? The ARRL isn't an electrician's union, Len. Carl wasn't
excluded. Carl didn't even qualify to run.

"Get screwed, Herman .. the ARRL is NOT "the savior" ... they're Nero
fiddling merrily while Rome burns all around them."

More non-company-man statements...even if an accurate quote.

Absolutely correct and an absolutely correct quote. What was incorrect
was his statement.

['Herman' is a morse zealot-bigot in Hawaii who is a
junior college math instructor but bills himself as a
"mathematics LECTURER." :-) ]

Is this more of your personal denigration and character assassination, Len?

BELIEVERS in the Church of St. Hiram cannot accept the
statements of non-believers even if they are TRUE.

If there were a "Church of St. Hiram" and if it had believers and if the
statements were true. So many "ifs", so little honesty on your part.

"...I have so little faith in the ARRL's ability to
lead ham radio into the next century that I beleive almost anyone could
do a better job".

True enough. ARRL membership hasn't grown past the
under-one-quarter of all licensed US radio amateurs.

Carl would be just the guy to handle a membership drive. Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

"I don't see the ARRL as being 'effective' AT ALL ... I see it as
being/having been the single largest impediment to the
modernization, growth, and future security of the Amateur Radio Service."

True enough.

How would you know?

ARRL membership hasn't grown past the
under-one-quarter of all licensed US radio amateurs.

And yet the amateur service was growing by leaps and bounds. There were
300,000 or so licensees in the U.S. when I became licensed. Today
there are well over 600,000. U.S. amateur radio has grown at a rate
higher than U.S. population growth.

Those are just a few of Carl's gems. There are many, many more.

And Google is full of Herr Heil's own personal insults
levelled at any "heretic" not worshiping at the Church of
St. Hiram.

Why, you've just fabricated again, Leonard. As I've stated on a number
of occasions, there is no Church of St. Hiram. Perhaps Foghorn Lenhorn
needs to go to confession.

Heil is BELIEVER and may want to be a deacon
when he should be a beacon.

....not in any Church of St. Hiram, I'm not. When I want you to know my
views, I'll tell 'em to you.
