Ahhh -- more name calling! I guess that helps to make your point about
your technical superiority as a ham!

73 de Larry, K3LT

What name calling? I refered to Dick as "Dick." :-)
The comment simply paraphrased/slightly modified something someone
else said (I think it may have been Floyd's original comment, but I don't
remember for sure ...)

Carl:

You referred to Dick as "dumb." Any reasonably objective observer in
this NG would not arrive at that conclusion.

Trouble is, YOU don't belong here as any sort of "objective observer."

Hence, you were engaged
in name calling, regardless of whether it was a quoted source or not.

Poor baby...you saw a mirror held up and thought someone was
reflecting YOUR image. Baaaaad overinflated ego complex you have.

Besides, this is not a discussion of a truly technical issue, so what does
my level of technical competence have to do with THIS discussion?

Carl - wk3c

A good question, Carl. I've always wondered exactly what your alleged
technical competence has to do with ANY discussion in this NG! After
all, this is about AMATEUR radio!

Larrah, it's just too bad that US amateur radio doesn't have a book,
"Radio for Dummies" that you could read to find out what radio, ANY
radio IS...you NEED one.

"Radio" is a general activity involving technology in and about radio
communication.

Radios do NOT work "differently" because some regulating agency
states one radio activity is "amateur" and another radio activity is
"commercial/professional." Electrons, fields and waves work the SAME
in ANY radio regardless of human legislation.

You can't understand that. I wonder why?

Maybe its because you can't distinguish one active from another...like
all your bragging about "summa cum laude human resources graduate"
and then you get a BUS DRIVER job.

While I freely admit that I do have a
great deal of respect for hams who do possess genuine, professional-
grade technical qualifications, you, and your apologists Floyd Davidson
and Len Anderson, tend to raise the noise level to BPL standards!

Poor baby...still miffed at no one recognizing your intrinsic Greatness?

Technically, you know NOTHING about "BPL" except a lot of hysteric
emotionally-fueled gabbling and paranoia and ten kinds of NIMBY
shouts and hollerings.

Come back when you've learned a smidgen of technical knowledge and
can talk sensibly with some evidence of knowing a small bit about the
technology. [I doubt that will ever happen...]

PROFESSIONALS made all your little radios possible as a product so
that you could buy them, play with them, and then sit around POSING
as an "amateur guru-expert-knowitall."

Don't bite the hands of those who made all your toys.
