Wait a minute ... don't tar all of us Extras with the same brush that
Dick, Larry, et al deserve ...

For example the vast majority of the Directors of NCI are Extras (or
their national equivalent thereof).

Additionally, there are a significant number of Extras amongst our
membership ... at least in proportion to the % of Extras to other
license classes.

So, it's not "the Extras" ... it's the PCTAs ...

Please don't lump all Extras in with that crowd ... it just 'aint so.

Carl:

Brian made the statement that "Extras" such as Dick, Dan, Bruce, and
myself wish to "destroy the amateur radio service." Obviously, he thinks
we want to do this because we *are* PCTA's, and see the value of retaining
code testing (what's left of it) in the ARS. In other words, because we
don't agree with him and the NCTA's, we want to "destroy" the ARS.

No, no, no, no, no. It has nothing to do with your disagreements with
me.

Larry, right after you told that guy not to let the door hit him in
the ass on his way out of the ARS, you said that the FCC ought to take
all the VHF and up amateur bands and sell them to the highest bidder.
Or was that after you said who was your favorite black on the bus? Or
was it after you said something about the knuckle dragging 4-lander
with the southern accent? Maybe it was after you talked about the
welfare mother of color with her hand out?

In any case, you wanted to destroy the ARS for the no-code
Technicians, and it had nothing to do with me.
