Oh Cecil. You disappoint me. I really thought you were smarter than this.

Ahhh, Mr. Tom Ring, the number one heckler of Cecil Moore! A
personality in his own right, if for no other reason than his imbecilic
and insane persistence in this devotion to such petty heckling!

Let me see, there are many, many posts from Mr. Tom Ring to this
newsgroup, and these posts span a notable time span. Now, as to the
worth of these posts, let us have a look.

It seems Mr. Ring is very good at making some use of the available and
current technology. He even has made some recorded voice files
available on the net. Seems if questions asked here in the group are
more-or-less standard ones, and the knowledge is quite commonly
available, Mr Ring is very, very good at looking it up, citing sources
and pointing out known and very much accepted, traditional thinking,
solutions and methods. He might even be a master at using Roy's little
program to plot antenna design specs! Indeed, it might be said he would
be suitable to tutor another on and in its' use. And, I do believe he
has never failed in being able to match his antenna to his xmitter as a
proper load.

But, in my humble opinion, although you may search from the beginning of
his posts, here and in other groups or the web, he has demonstrated very
little if any real abilities, motivations or offerings in ORIGINAL
THOUGHT! Mr. Ring is a bit of a coward, and although any physicist with
a valid degree will acknowledge that we are far from having explained,
to any complete satisfaction, the workings of electromagnetic waves and
their propagation, the medium they exist within, etc., Mr. Ring hides
always in the shadows of others findings, proofs, theories, experiments,
designs, etc. It seems Mr. Ring is much, too much a coward to ever
stick his neck out and offer any original thought, and this is
especially noted if it would require such thought to be against
"Traditional Beliefs." Mr. Ring, I suspect, is more of a "YES MAN."

While Mr. Ring may be a devoted member of "The Church of Hardcore and
Steadfast Amateurs Devoted to The Traditions of the Decades" he quite
certainly will NEVER offer any ideas, theories, experiments or even
words against traditionally held beliefs, which even by the sheerest of
accidents, would contribute to anything, even remotely, resembling a new
discovery, a new design, a new method, a new tradition.

If you want to find plans for equipment someone else has designed, Mr.
Ring is your man! If you need antenna advice on any standard and
"amateur accepted" antenna, Mr. Ring is your man!

However, if you grow tire of the common, of the already "explored to
death", of touted lines from notary figures and wish to try new things,
you may expect only ridicule from Mr. Tom Ring.

I can only offer you my personal opinion of Mr. Tom Ring. But, I think
you already know what that opinion is, and I will spare you the
tirade... I am sure Mr. Ring already already suspects what he is, and
seeks to lessen taller men, with his imbecilic heckling, who threaten
him with their shadow--indeed, Mr. Ring attempts to silence any thought
which would lead to new discoveries--imagine if he was next to Tesla,
Bell, Pasteur, da Vinci, etc. in a newsgroup, AND WAS SUCCESSFUL!

A million men might offer clues and make attempts and fail before but
one man sees the light and is successful. Just think, that implies
999,999 hecklers might have been right--only one needed to be wrong for
a new discovery.

Thank God newsgroups were not in existence, and Mr. Ring present therein
when the Wright brothers dreamed...

Sorry, that has been building for a bit...
