[et cetera, et cetera... :-)

You're not the King, Len. I predict that Yul try to be funny, but Yul
fail.

I don't read everything that is posted to rrap, Len. I don't even read
most of it. Too much noise.

Turn on your BFO. Pretend its "CW." Remember that "CW"
gets through (noise) when nothing else will... :-)

Doesn't change the fact that I don't read much of rrap. A few posts a
day at most.

Jimmy is "too good" to associate with
"riff-raff." He be royalty. Blue blood, etc. Blue in face.

Well, you can't be talking about me, then. No royalty or blue blood
here. Just a red-blooded American.

Yes. You're shouting and name-calling and carrying on like an overtired
two-year-old.

The FCC has no age limit on amateur radio licensees.

Despite the fact that you want such a limit.

Ah, but now Jimmy DOESN'T LIKE two-year-olds!

Actually, I like them just fine. Real two-year-olds, that is, not
adults behaving like two-year-olds.

Hello, a plain and simple fact of hypocrisy in action...:-)

There's a person in Sun Valley, CA who wants the real estate zoning in
"his" neighborhood to be unchanged. He thinks the fact that he owns
property there - has an investment there, really - gives him rights
which supersede those of others might want to buy property there, or
build there. Doesn't matter what real estate experience the Outsiders
have, he thinks they should have no voice in changing the zoning in
"his" neighborhood. The Government should use The Law to enforce his
wishes against Outsiders.

But at the same time, he wants to change the rules for Amateur Radio,
in which he has no investment and no participation. He thinks the fact
that he has some experience outside Amateur Radio makes him more
qualified to judge the rules for Amateur Radio than those who really
are amateur radio operators. He does not intend to become an amateur
radio operator, he just wants to stay on the outside and change the
rules, so The Government will use The Law to enforce *his* wishes.

You mean that kind of action?

I pushed your buttons, mighty morseman
and you come back in TYPICAL fashion, all prissy-sissy.

I guess you would rather I behaved like you...

Jimmy got his buttons
pushed. Then he got his panties in a knot. Poor baby.

Len, uou're the one behaving like an overtired two-year-old here. Not
me.

Threat of violence.

You mean like "slashed tires," "bricks through windows,"
and implications of arriving at your house with "the boys?"

Who wrote those words? Not me.

You take a simple word-
play phrase and MANUFACTURE something unbelievable out
of it!

Hitting people on the head with a 2x4 isn't what I wrote. It's what you
wrote. Like the stuff about sight targets and the medical examiner....

Both NCVEC and NCI have proposed schemes that would reduce the written
test requirements.

The subject was NOT the
NCVEC or NCI.

It was about the proposed reduction of written testing by no-code-test
advocates. Both NCI and NCVEC - who are no-code-test advocates - have
also proposed license schemes with reductions in written testing.

But you still think it's a good idea.

Jimmy just can't let go of
the chance to point his finger at "enemies" and say they
are "wrong!" :-)

You've not given one single bit of evidence of problems in the Amateur
Radio Service caused by the licensing of young people.

Jimmy just can't let go of
the chance to point his finger at "enemies" and say they
are "wrong!" :-)

I'm just pointing out the fact that your behavior goes far beyond
trying to eliminate the Morse Code test.

Jimmy just can't let go of
the chance to point his finger at "enemies" and say they
are "wrong!" :-)

DROP it, Jimmy. I did, long ago.

Then why do you keep arguing about it?

Jimmy bring it up, gets
into "error" mode, then says OTHER PERSON "brought it up."

Amazing.

I didn't say you brought it up, Len. I said you're arguing about it.

Do get your quotes right.

Riiiight...but you love to attempt controlling what I
write! :-)

You're obvioulsy out of control here, Len.

Jimmy he OBVIOLSY gone off
the deep end without floatation collar...

"OBVIOLSY"?

It was in a statement by an FCC official. You missed it - I didn't.

I check the Federal Register daily...the FCC website weekly.

When and by whom was this "statement" made?

Look it up.

You don't KNOW? Tsk, tsk, tsk.

I know. Why should I tell you? Are you incapable of looking it up?

When Jimmy can't bring up
some piece of data he says vague things like "look it up"
to misdirect readers into thinking the OTHER party is
"wrong."

That's not me, Len. It's what *you* do. You say others have written
certain words here, but then cannot produce quotes to back up your
claims.

I'm not yelling and I'm not on the sidelines. You are.

WRONG.

Typing in all capitals is yelling, Len. You're not part of amateur
radio.

I'm not yelling and I'm not on the sidelines. You are.

Amateur morsemen like Jimmy
presume that AMATEUR radio is the ONLY radio activity. So,
if one is not in THEIR narrow field of activity, they are on
the "outside." :-)

No, that's not true at all. You're on the outside of amateur radio. And
you're yelling.

Actually, the FCC did agree with me on some things.

Yes, they "agreed" to accept a Comment or two in the ECFS. :-)

You should read the footnotes to the NPRM.

Are you ASHAMED of your job?

Oh, no. I'm proud of it.

"Proud" of WHAT?

My job.

Proud of NOTHING?

Oh no - proud of my job. Why shouldn't I be?

AFRAID someone will POKE FUN at it?

Not at all.

But you refuse to talk about what you do.

That's not being afraid. It's common sense.

Jimmy never describes what he
does as an "electronics professional."

Why should anyone tell you about their job, Len?

Why should I respect you, considering the way you behave here?

Jimmy be smug, arrogant
amateur morseman but imagines he is the noblest ham of all
in looking down big nose at others.

Len:

Why should anyone respect you, considering the way you behave here?
