he did just as he said he would years ago

? ?I did NOT "do as I said years ago." ?

No, you most certainly did not. ?You made a boast over seven years back
of going for an "Extra right out of the box". ?You did squat for those
years.

It was not manufactured at all and was certainly not taken out of
context. ?That you now find it embarrassing is the issue.

I find it difficult to accept your claim as factual.

? ?However, once
? ?IN, I plan to stay in...until I decide to get out (if I do).

Everyone who becomes a radio amateur has a finite time in which to
participate.

? ?Once a REAL decision has been made, then one can work

? ?special, genius (or genuous) level of knowledge required to

I don't recall a single Morse-tested Extra class licensee ever saying
that the Amateur Extra was a mark of genius.

? ?All it takes is some attention-focused

Many told you so. ?You usually dismissed them. ?You were told the same
about learning Morse code.

Dave, how's that run for the Roanoke Division Director coming?

Instead of becoming Division Manager "Right Out Of The Box," you might
want to try being a Section Manager first, and work your way up the
ladder. ?I understand that your Section, West Virginia, will be having
a run-off soon, so you might as well start now. ?After all, you have a
finite time for eligibility and in which to participate. ?All it takes
is some attention-focused work.

Best of Luck

? ?David Heil! ? :-)

? ?Darn, I should have made a note of the DATE at which he
? ?started campaigning for Manager. ?Could have come back

Heil made the announcement on September 7, 2006.

http://groups.google.com/group/rec.r.../msg/eb0250fae...

In another declaration, Heil said that people who cannot spell should
not hold a position of leadership.

? ?He might have been thinking in Hunnish at the time. ?He says
? ?that he KNOWS how Hun names are spelled in English...

I'm sure he would make spelling errors in both English and Hunnish.
He's human, I think.

Shortly thereafter, I noted spelling errors in a Heil posting and made
note of it.

Which is worse, making spelling errors, or working out-of-band
Frenchmen on Six Meters?

? ?Anything said negative against him is "worst." ?Doesn't matter
? ?what the subject is... :-)

A little constructive criticism never hurt anyone, or has it?

Normally that is true. To some pro-coders it is the vilest comment
that can be made to them! :-)

It has the largest impact on the smug ones.

Apparently, Heil thinks it's the former. ?I think it's the latter. ?In
any case, Heil did both.

? ?He might be hedging his bets...

or he's shooting for a trifecta.

Whatever he is shooting at, his aim is off... :-(

We'll see.

The nomination period is open for the Roanoke Division Directorship,
and he's already announced his candidacy.

Now we must wait/see if he has enough local support or if he must self-
nominate.

Then the ARRL might accept or deny his nomination - conflicts of
interest and such. You know the drill.

Then there's the all important election, if he had a campaign...

If elected, will he acceptor decline the position? ... to spend more
time with his family.

His run for the Roanoke Division Directorship is doomed.

? ?No sweat. ?He is "superior" to anyone. ?Sooner or later he
? ?will rule the (amateur) world...

I think not.

Well, he implies as such...and in public, too! :-)

That's not a good thing to be implied when running for Div. Director.

? ?Anyway, he no "represent" me, never could, never would...

Hopefully, he represents only hisself.

To paraphrase, he is "a representative of one!" salute

A true democracy!
