A version of the 'say it enough times and some people will think it's

Sure it works - backward.

Heck, Len argues with and insults those who *agree* with him. I suppose
former FCC Chairman Michael Powell would have taken warmly to being
called "Mikey" by Len....

I don't have a particularly bad time with that one.

A *spoiled* child....

Lotta negative adjectives fit him.

If he keeps playing that stupid game he's
liable to find out the hard way that the feds have some very unpleasant
ways of "calling games off".

More likely he's just delaying or defeating the changes he says he

btw, didn't FCC issue a ruling of some sort about how many proposals a
person or group could submit per year?

If they did it went over my head. Either way they probably have
something like that in place which they keep to themselves.

avoid gaming the odds....

Yeah why didn't we think of that? 'Course the Colonel has all those
contacts in high places . .

Uh-huh....

He'd fit right in on the Elwyn Express.

The end of 2006 is only 72 days away, give or take. What's the
prize if FCC doesn't release the Morse Code R&O by then?

Speaking of Britney . . there's some scuttlebutt going around to the
effect that the FCC is working on a compromise deal on the code test.
