You're projecting your own feelings again. *You* don't like subsidies,
even though you've been on the receiving end of them, so you react to
the word negatively.

I haven't grown any crops lately, either. :-)

Heck, Len, you could grow them in your 21,000 square foot home.

No, it's correct. "Your paycheck" means "the money you were paid". If
your employer was paid by the govt. for work you did, then your
paycheck - the money - came from the taxpayers.

Are you ashamed of that?

Not at all. Except for laws of the US on espionage and
classified information, whatever private business
restrictions signed-for, I can talk about all sorts of
work I've done.

But you're the fellow who raised holy hell when I advised you that there
were things I couldn't tell you about my job. Go figure!

Heck and darn, lil Jimmy, some of that
has been written up in public periodicals! :-)

You are ashamed to state what you work on except for the
most vague way...such as being in the "transport industry."

Where is the shame indicated, nibby old timer?

It's self-evident, Len.

We know you are "self-evident," Jimmy. yawn

Bus drivers are in the "transport industry." Larry
Roll, the soma-cum-loud "graduate" in "Human
Resources" (personnel department work) was a bus
driver!

Are you a bus driver, Jimmy?

Is this another denigration base upon a wild supposition, Len?

By definition, government-funded projects are
paid for by the taxpayers.

"By definition?!?" Whose "definition?"

My Webster's New World Compact School and Office Dictionary,
1989, says simply "...a grant of money, as from the government
to a private organization."

Doesn't mention "taxpayers" at all.

Where do you think the government obtains it's money, Leonard?

I've seen how you have criticized the work of health care
professionals, professional radio and communications people (including
both military and government-service radio operators), mechanical
engineers, electrical engineers, etc. - if they dare to disagree with
you about the Morse Code test for an amateur radio license.

Interestingly, all those you mention were PRO-code-test
advocates!

Hans Brakob is a "PRO-code-test advocate"? Really? You lit into him on
a couple of occasions as if he were Hiram Percy Maxim reincarnated. It
looks as if you've committed another factual error, Len.

Did their work MANDATE keeping the code test
in US amateur radio? I don't think so.

Oh, and that "health care professional" you mentioned has
yet to identify his place of work, has yet to provide any
sort of identification of his "military career," nor the
true circumstances why he left (suddenly) the Tennessee
State Guard.

....and what is his obligation to make a report to you?

Yet that individual have written obscene
personal insults to just about everyone in this newsgroup
(all remain in Google archives). He doesn't seem to know
what a "Sharps" is, doesn't understand what 'helicobacter
pylori' is, doesn't seem to know **** from shinola.

I think any hero I'd choose would realize that Shinola hasn't been
produced in decades. It is as defunct as "ham radio" magazine.

I will, have, and expect to continue criticizing ANYONE for
their self-righteous stance on keeping the morse code test.

So you'll understand if you are criticized for your self-righteous
stance on abolishing the morse code test. After all, you have no stake
in amateur radio.

It is a political issue. Criticism of opponents on political
matters is very much the American Way.

But, we have to wonder if you are really an American, Jimmy.
You want YOUR way all the time (very imperial, royal,
dictatorial). You've never served your country in the
military or in the government and seem to think having the
personal HOBBY of amateur radio is a "service to the nation."

Are you questioning his citizenship, patriotism or both, Len? Who is
the "we" you write of? Do you have a Vibroplex in your pocket?

He has presented some black-and-white digitized
photographs of his 1974 ham radio project
You mean the receiver? That was just one of my 1974 projects. It was a
really good receiver, built for almost no money. I've built a lot more
since then.

According to a note on Kees Talen's (K5BCQ?) HBR page, you
"lent it to your brother" then disassembled it in 1976.
Yes, compared to all the other examples there, your
"really good receiver" (built over three decades ago)
certainly looked cheap. Not "inexpensive," cheap.

Tell us about the receivers you've built at home, Len. I'm sure that a
fellow with your credentials had no trouble whipping up something really
exotic in your home workshop.

and implied it was used today,
Where? You have made another mistake, Len.

No mistake. You implied that in here, about the time you
gave a URL link to those photos. Ho hum.

I read those posts. I don't recall him implying any such thing.

Well, that leaves me out. I'm not angry or frustrated about not being
able to advance my own work, Len.

You do nothing. There's no such thing as "more of nothing."
Ergo, "advancement" into doing more nothing is still nothing.

He does something which you know nothing about, Len. It irks you not to
know.

And your postings speak for themselves.
What they say isn't very nice.

Ain't that somethin' though! I don't follow the Church of
St. Hiram's teachings (read brainwashing)...

Isn't that interesting! Neither do I.

...and I am against
the code test for an amateur radio license.

Well dip me in flour, toss me in thirty weight and fry me to a golden brown!

Neither do I
accept the smug, arrogant, illogical, invalid, dictatorial
denigrations of others which the amateur extra morsemen
babble in here. Now what you do, Jimmy?

Is it your opinion that those who you view as delivering "smug,
arrogant, illogical, invalid, dictatorial denigrations" should just sit
around while you behave like a horse's patoot?

Nope. I'm not afraid at all. The ROI of telling you personal
information is all negative. Why should anyone do that?

If they have the courage, they can. You don't.

Courage? It is plain for all to see what you've done with any sliver of
personal information, Len.

You get really mad when someone brings up things you wrote in the past,
and then verifies them with links and actual quotes.

I get "mad?" Hell, no. I get IRRITATED is all. You
have some kind of perverse "need" to constantly re-argue
and re-argue and re-argue and re-argue and re-argue old,
old, old threads.

How very odd. That is *precisely* what you do fairly frequently.

Jimmy, try TRY to be a good sport about these postings.

When do we get to the part where you become a good sport, Len?

Sometimes YOU lose them. Be gracious and accept the
losing.

I suggest you print and save that little blurb. Paste it to your
monitor, kindly old gent. It is sure to come up again very soon.
