the humor in my callsign, but also knowing that he upholds to the principles
of a democracy. And, he did exactly that. He does not like my callsign.
But, he doesn't believe it is for the FCC to govern such things.

That is quite correct, it's nice to see you finally get something right. The
FCC should not be in the business of controlling which call signs any ham
can or cannot have. That is, and always should be, entirely up to the good
taste and judgment of the individual ham.

Bzzzzt. I don't think so. I think the FCC was on track with
sequential calls. I think the BMV was on track with sequential
license plates.

Now we've got the US Postal Service thinking about issuing "vanity
postage stamps."

Good grief.
