Lennie's had the proverbial "hard on" for me since he showed up on USENET
back in the mid 90's. I can only conclude his obsession with me is due to
the fact that I have a ham radio license while, alas, he does not.


This isn't a new thing, or a secret. Look up his 1998
comments to the FCC on the subject, if you don't believe me.


What is even more amusing is if you look up Lennie's comments to the FCC,
out of thousands of pages of comments, he felt the need to rebut my comments
virtually line for line.


He specifically asked FCC to do the following in response to NPRM
98-143:


I have always felt stronger (not read: more difficult) theory examinations
were more important to the ARS than morse code testing. It is an opinion
that I hold to this day.


IOW, he *supported* the NCI proposal of that time! He's a
dyed-in-the-wool no-coder!


I actually have my NCI membership certificate packed someone in my boxes.


3) Reduction of the number of amateur radio license classes
to two.


I still feel two license classes - a 50MHZ+ and a 30MHZ- would not
necessarily be a bad idea.


This was almost ten years ago. I don't think Mike has changed


Not at all. I still feel all my ideas presented 8 years ago hold merit
today.

I do not really see any need for two HF licenses. The FCC should simply
eliminate the General license and have a Class A and Class B license.


Well, it's interesting to see that you can be nasty to those
who agree with you....


Since Lennie's first appearance... oh, 10? years ago, he's pretty much been
a nasty fellow.

As I've posted in the past, he reminds me a great deal of my
long-since-departed paternal grandmother, who was so miserable, she had to
try and make everyone else around her miserable too. I can only conclude
that Lennie's inability to get a ham license has made him very, very
miserable.
