As of 5 Feb 07 the above is unfortunately true in here.
With a couple of exceptions (Dee and Hans Brakob of
the past), and some mentions by a few "non-regulars,"
all the "regulars" have degenerated into their old
habits of putting themselves on their self-built
pedestals and sneering at others "not as good as
They."
...except that your pronouncement isn't true.

Incorrect, faulty, mistaken. Your whole reply is a
REAFFIRMATION of what I wrote. :-)

My statement is correct. N2EY has never been other than civilized with
you. His demeanor is in direct contrast with yours, especially when you
reply to him.

There are precious few
potential radio amateurs appearing here.

Incorrect, faulty, mistaken...except for "precious."

My statement is correct. The overwhelming majority of posters to this
newsgroup are licensed radio amateurs.

The standout in here was Val Germann of Missouri,
making "precious" noises about morse code. Germann
has yet to upgrade from Tech.

You should be happy for him.

"Precious" can be applied to a pair of cute 4-year-olds
who each got an amateur radio license in 1998.

The word "precious" may be applied to numerous things.

You have haunted this
newsgroup for over a decade without bothering to take an amateur radio
licensing exam, much less to pass one.

A newsgroup is NOT amateur radio.

That's correct. This particular newsgroup deals with amateur radio.

No "license" is needed
to either read or post in a newsgroup.

Lucky for you.

You have NO AUTHORITY to demand all in here be licensed
for anything.

I've never made a demand that you obtain an amateur radio license. In
fact, I much prefer that you didn't.

You aren't a new amateur radio
op and you aren't likely to become one.

I haven't been a "new" radio operator since 1953.

Precisely. You have yet to become a radio amateur. When and if you
ever obtain such a license, you'll be a new amateur radio op.

I was granted a COMMERCIAL radio operator license 50 years
ago...it is still on record although the FCC modified all
three Radiotelephone Operator classes into on General class
about 1985. Look it up in the FCC ULS if you must.

I don't care about it, Len. It isn't an amateur radio license.
In amateur radio, it qualifies you for nothing.

You cannot foretell the future. No human has proven to be
prescient.

I predict that you will never obtain an amateur radio license during
your lifetime. Now let's sit back and see if I've accurately predicted
the future.

What you blurt out is nothing but a rude and
insulting remark.

Pity we don't know what remark that is. You seemed to have snipped it.

Your posting style is full of insults and rudeness.

Incorrect.

My statement is absolutely correct.

I am direct, sometimes terse, and do not
back down from rude, insulting control-freaks who
love not radio but just to shove others around.

You're the biggest control freak of all, Len. You want to control
regulations in something in which you play no part. Your rudeness under
a variety of posting names is archived.

As you have found, you reap what you sow.

The only thing I've sown is some grass seed.

It isn't true, but have it your way. You're grass seed.

The only "sow" encountered in the last decade have been
some transgendered porcine types who thought they were
gods of radio and attempted pushing many of us NCTA
around.

You've told us about the "sow" you've eaten in recent months. You've
thus eaten the gods of radio. How very, very peculiar.

That's the self-serving selfishness John
speaks of.
You aren't a licensed radio amateur.

Quite true. I am a LICENSED COMMERCIAL (professional)
radio operator. The FCC said I was.

So what?

Everyone who does not have an amateur radio license
is not licensed in the amateur radio service.

Exactly. How many of them haunt an amateur radio newsgroup for ten years?

Of
course. Obvious. You are being very redundant.
As well as rotund. Going in circles, nowhere.

You're still at the starting line, Len. I predict that is where you'll
stay.
