I am helpful, Len.

His concept of
"helpful" is everyone doing as he says, thinking what he
thinks. That's not reality. It's 'hive mind' stuff.

It's what *you* want, Len. Not me.

It might be that

doesn't understand 'reality.'
He says he "lives in the ham bands."

Who said that, Len? Give us an exact quote.

The rest of us
live in residences like houses or apartments.

I've got one of those.

He has
funny ideas of zoning laws and how they affect hundreds
of peoples' lives about THEIR neighborhood, not to
mention local tax laws.

What funny ideas?

All I did was point out that when someone wanted to *change* the zoning
in your neighborhood, you opposed that change. You wanted to keep out
anyone who did not want the kind of house you lived in. You wanted a
piece of undeveloped land to stay undeveloped, even though you did not
own it.

You wanted The Government to keep your neighborhood As It Was When You
Moved There. By force of law. Newcomers must conform to what *you*
wanted the neighborhood to be. *They* had to change, not you.

The irony is that when the land was finally developed, the resulting
houses were worth more than yours!

is off on some Hate kick.

Not me, Len. I'm not about hate.

I'm all about justice, fair play, common sense, and accuracy.

He just can't stand
opposition to his beloved ARRL's ideas or anyone
gasp! disagreeing with the mighty of Newington.

Accuracy, Len. You can't just push the facts down the memory hole.

Therefore he stretches even his concept of reality to
the breaking point...and broke it more than once.

What *are* you going on about, Len?

In reality, a quarter-wave whip antenna is a lot longer than 3 and 1/4
inches.

He
NEEDS to find the worst of everyone disagreeing with
him.

Do you mean that I point out your mistakes?

A sort of junior-league Major Dud (Robeson) now.

Did you ever find the database that says whether or not he was in the
US military?

1906 thinking in 2006. Ptui.

Gee, Len, your posts read like a transcript of a Two Minutes' Hate
sometimes. That is, when you're not telling people to shut up or
calling them Godwinesque nicknames.
