[snip to the part I didn't see since Len's rantings go into my killfile]

[in case you've forgotten...possibly since the NCI web
site didn't appear to know it until after a week had
passed after the FCC announcement...just a deduction]

You often make poor deductions, Leonard.

Yes ... he does.

I made an OBSERVATION, Carl. Looking at www.nocode.org every
day for a week after the 15 Dec 06 FCC announcement.

It wasn't a week after the Public Notice, but a couple of
days, before it was posted to the NCI website (and a link to the Report and
Order was posted within 24 hours of its release).

Then why didn't it appear that soon on the "NCI website?"
One that us earthpeople could read? The ARRL was posting
about it the same day!

Sounds like more than an OBSERVATION, Len.

Are you ticked off that somebody posted it to RRAP before you did?

Let's face it. www.nocode.org has been QUIET on everything
concerning the no-code-test NPRM. All that's been there for
months has been a couple of notices about "officials" of NCI.
Whoop-de-do. [it was like walking through a research library
with nobody in it...]

One of the fundamental purposes/commitments of NCI was to be a
single-purpose organization that would disappear when the
Morse Code test went away. Job's done in the USA, it seems.

Suddenly, comes "word" from the "Chief" of NCI on "important
news!" Allegedly "immediately" (more or less) "reported."

The thread subject is "One way to promote learning of code ..."

I was on Maui for 10 days on a combination of business and vacation, but
modern technology (my EVDO card) alllowed me to access the internet
wirelessly from my notebook :-)

Wow! High-tech! insert a Robesin hyena-guffaw here

You should have remarked about a fancy hotel with Internet
connections in every room or something. You don't have a
direct satellite telephone? [Iridium is up and working,
ain't it?]

Are you jealous, Len?

By golly, Carl, looks like you "joined the 'other side.'"
What with the extra callsign and running (well, trying to)
for office, and all the IEEE Standards committee work, you
appear to be Greater than us ordinary earthpeople.

Well, let's see...

In the past few years, Carl upgraded from Tech Plus to Extra (aced the
test, too.).
Traded his old 2x3 6-land call for a spiffy 2x1 3-land call. Did a lot
of good
anti-BPL work, too. Worked some good DX on HF with SSB, too. Now he's
made a contribution to promoting the learning and use of Morse Code.
(not the
*test*!).

Anything wrong with any of that?

It's rather obvious to most readers that Heil has had a
deep personality conflict with me in here, by all
indications a deep, antagonistic attitude wherein he
keeps on finding "fault" with everything I say...and has
been doing so for years. Now you are doing the same thing.

Not everything you say, Len. Just some things.

Is that what Managers' Charm School taught you?

Well, what I've been saying for years has come to pass.
Give someone rank-status-privilege and they become
"better" than ordinary folk.

I guess you'd prefer that nobody except you should mention what they've
done?

Gosh, maybe I should mention we were in Cabo for a shoot.
[film, that is] Shoot, forgot all about it...:-)

I was on a "film shoot" last night, Len. Except no film was actually
used - chemical
photography is so 20th century. All digital.
