Clint,

This is not a game where you hit home runs.

This is a newsgroup. It would seem that ANY trick is okay to win
message points.

This is a serious subject.

Yes. Ah-nold the Codinator got his sword knotted.

I'm
a few years older than you, so it stands to reason that I've had the
opportunity to speak directly with many of the members of my family who
survived the Nazis' attempt to exterminate them in Poland.

Kiddo, I'm a few years older than YOU, but don't have any "ancestors"
who were in concentration camps. Instead, I've talked DIRECTLY to
those who were there, even a couple of ex-soldiers who helped
liberate one camp. Lots of those centers for Holocaust remembrance
here in Los Angeles.

Cut out this totally artificial-to-the-subject "ancestral insult" crap.

The word "nazi" (all lower case) has come to mean what Clint said
in the American language of TODAY.

I listened to
them many times over as a young man and understand fully the meaning of the
word. I don't subscribe to your loose definition, and neither do the many
people who lived under that tyranny. When you use it to describe those that
are in favor of code testing in the ARS, you cheapen the meaning, and
therefore the memories of all those people who did not survive.

You ought to run right down to your nearest Simon Weisenthal Center
and TELL THEM ABOUT YOUR OUTRAGE!!!!

Please,
think about this before you use the word again. That's all that I ask.

If the "ancestral outrage/insult" ploy is the best thing you can come up
with in a newsgroup concerning the MORSE CODE TEST FOR
AMATEUR RADIO LICENSING, you might as well quit trying to post
anything. Your artificiality has lost it for you. Negative message points.
