: "John Smith" wrote in message ... Slow Idiot: I am going to do you a BIG favor. You didn't know I was psychic, did you? Well, I am, let me give you a reading... You are the kind of guy who impresses young children, old women, and mentally and technically challenged individuals. You realize that you have that special autistic ability of being able to rap out, and quite profusely--probably, those taps in code. You were quick to realize that individuals with low self esteem, persons of low self-worth and individuals seeming to lack any skills what-so-ever were VERY impressed by such an ability--of course these individuals also failed to realize just how stupid it was to "hero worship" such a trivial ability. However, for one such as you, un-remarkable in all other ways type of guy, no great IQ, no other real skills or abilities, a general inability to get along in the general society, etc... for you, this was a way of "feeling special." But, it came at a price, it blinded you to how simple others with real abilities, high IQ's, great skills, good social abilities, etc. viewed you. You simply shut your ears, your eyes and your mind to reality; you finally reached a point where you were unable to care, to see... You came to live in your "special world" where you are quite special, talented, skilled, etc. You live there now, you think you enlighten us with your wasted "text verbiage" here, you draw upon others good will and tolerance, you keep thinking you have a great message to impart to us. That soon a revelation will strike us and we will all recognize you for the great man you think you are... This story goes on and on, indeed, it appears as if it is one of those special, un-ending story with you painted as lead hero, painted as such by you, yourself--of course... well, even you can see where I am going with all of this. And, you know it is true. You know we will be watching your behavior in sheer unbelief and amazement, you realize you really do look quite stupid. You realize you have painted yourself into a corner which you cannot escape. And, it dawns upon you, you have nothing to lose, all credibility is lost--you may as well continue on your present course--there is nothing to be lost--it has already been gone for quite a time... still, your only two choices is facing your peers disgust, or quitting, and I am betting you just can't quit. I have never seen an individual like you who was able... Good luck... P.S. I am really not psychic--but you already knew that... It is just that such small intellect as you display is simple to define... but you knew that--already. You are simply trapped by the particular mental disorder which plagues you, your world is small and therefore you expect it to be so for all others. You are now but an actor on a stage--your part has already been written, you now only perform your part... a limited performance, a small performance, a vile performance, but still--it is yours, and it tells a much larger picture about you--how much better it would be if performed for people who actually cared... JS Bingo!!!!! I'm happy you two lazy ass Lids found each other, when ya getting married? I suggest you two, plus Markie, Opus and stay out of this thread. It's only for people like me that want to protect and preserve the quality & integrity of the amateur radio service. People like you, John Smith, Opus, Lenny and Markie want to destroy it because you believe people shouldn't have to learn anything or be good at anything to be a ham radio operator. SC |

We dare not let Lenny and the rest of the dumb-it-down crowd win. SC SC: Sometimes I am convinced that you are an excellent "satire comedian." Other times, you have me convinced you are for real. Sometimes you have me busting a gut and laughing until tears come, other times you yank my heart-stings in pity. Take this last post of your, it can be viewed as tongue-in-cheek satire, or, it can be viewed as insane rant. Certainly you cannot place much importance on CW. Amateurs have a real purpose, to expand radio on ALL frontiers. Help in the community, help in educating the youth in radio, help in disasters, help in developing techniques, equip., theory development, etc. (the list really goes on-and-on here) Probably the least important aspects of all this is rag chewing, contesting, favoritism of individuals and groups, etc. They are fun for some and amateur radio has a place for these activities, but these are self-serving and we must be careful least amateurs on a whole end up being judged on such self-serving behaviors. However, when we are taking from amateur radio for our own personal goals, likes and entertainment we are NOT giving. Or, put simply, I can easily imagine Einstein, Tesla, De Forest, Bell, etc. having a great interest in radio, however, I am in doubt as to them getting excited about having to learn morse to obtain the license. So, when you go crying "the sky is falling" over amateur radio progressing and dropping an ancient tradition of morse testing, how can any logical mind view you as NOT being self-serving, how can anyone take you seriously at all? Are you a con man attempting to sell us the idea that you really see great benefit in CW? That CW is a major part of radio in 2006? Come on man, anyone crying such nonsense is going to be called on those cons schemes immediately. You see CW as being a real barrier, something that many who desperately want to become amateurs will avoid and by so avoiding fail to obtain an amateur license. Certainly you cannot really believe that; you can see how people would view you as deranged if you held such views, can't you? If someone really wants an amateur license, it they are so devoted to hero worship of amateurs as your were--they will end up with that license in their back pocket--even some uneducated and mentally challenged person from the back swamps of DumbBuck Egypt can learn to tap that code if he/she is driven. I think as a young man, you viewed amateurs in some form of hero worship. I think you viewed them as larger than life. I am afraid that once you obtained your license, these fantasies did not fade. Indeed, you wove these fantasies into your ego and your ego became dependent on your amateur license hanging on your wall. You recognized that if a very large number of people had amateur licenses (say the same number who hold fishing licenses or drivers licenses or contracting licenses, etc.) your feeling of being "special" would go away. So, you began to plot. You began to find ways you felt would stop people from getting licenses and get behind those ideas and push them and sell them. You certainly knew there were other such individuals as yourself out there and they would come to your aid. Indeed, I do not even think you were the one to come up with the original idea, I think that would have been beyond you. Someone else came up with the idea, you just jumped on his/her bandwagon. So, now we arrive here. And, you are indeed correct, CW does make some shy away from amateur radio. The reward of having an amateur license is just not big enough for them to learn a set of dits and dahs to send messages with, frankly, I see Einstein never bothered. I guess you look at this as a "winning" situation, I do not. I look at it as a evil self-centered plan which you and others are engaged in to limit amateur radio, and it just kind-of-got-that-way because no one has taken you to task. I know of no good reasons to maintain any CW requirement in amateur testing. Even learning it for historical reasons does not justify the expenditure of time and effort it requires just to purchase a radio, buy an antenna and grab up a mic (and that is exactly what the large majority of amateurs are today, code tapping appliance users.) In all your rants I see no real reasons for maintaining the CW requirement. In fact, when you are hard pressed and under attack, you admit to having your self-centered self at the core of you manipulations. If you think I hate you, I do not. If you think I see you as the most evil person I have ever conversed with, I do not--I have some neighbors much worse. I just don't understand you. And, why that is, is because no one here is attempting to "win" by eliminating morse. We are attempting to win by making amateur radio enticing enough to fill our ranks with new bright minds, something YOU SHOULD place much more importance on. Indeed, CW pales in comparison when viewed side-by-side. Let me leave you with one important "vision" to dwell upon. Next time you are a social event, a cocktail party, a civic function, etc. and you find someone, or some group who is really, really impressed with you being an amateur radio operator--then, right at that time, take a really, really good look at those people who are so all impressed and tell me if it really matters that you impress "those people?" If you say yes, you and I don't even live in the same universe. Regards, JS |

I took off for three weeks to rid my environment of all the sociopathic meanderthals that inhabit this Din of Inequity. I come back and its like the ghost of Claude Rain's character in the movie "Casablanca" has been whispering to me..."all the usual suspects" have been rounded up and imprisoned in here. :-) It's truly remarkable to see this totally-retro group of frustrated "radio operators" thinking the radio world hasn't changed for 60-70 years...all of them thinking they "know what is right" for a radio hobby...because what They do is absolutely the Best and all should emulate what They do. Where is Paul Schleck these days? Here it is 1 December and his "threatening" troika of "moderators" haven't yet appeared. I wonder if he has been appointed to a new cabinet post? You know, the "Department of Hamland Security"... :-) Holiday regards, LA |

Take this last post of your, it can be viewed as tongue-in-cheek satire, or, it can be viewed as insane rant. I'm a firm believer in using humor and satire to try to make my point. It's like cracking a walnut with a sledgehammer. Whether or not anyone wants to accept or agree with me, I hope we can all still have a good laugh. I know of no good reasons to maintain any CW requirement in amateur testing. How about, Requiring it in order to be able to communicate with it? That's a good reason and you're learning a skill. Keeping people like Markie off HF doesn't sound too bad either. The first time you hear 'AAAAAAUDIOOOOOOOOOOOOO' or 'skipland skipland skipland' in the middle of 20meters, you'll get a change of heart and will want to beg forgiveness at the Church of Hiram. I heard it a couple times and it made even the hairs on the back of my neck stand up and I was already born again. SC |

You know, the "Department of Hamland Security"... :-) Holiday regards, LA The member of our team that is finishing the final draft of the Request for Discussion (RFD) agreed to a firm deadline of January 1, 2007. The team has reviewed, and agreed to, prior working drafts of the RFD, as well as submission guidelines for the proposed new newsgroup, so this is just cleanup and tweaking at this point. The submission guidelines were recently posted to misc.test.moderated. We will have an RFD to pass along to the news.announce.newsgroups moderator to crosspost to this newsgroup shortly after January 1st. Moving the discussion period to after Christmas is also desirable in order to have a bigger audience for the RFD, and give everyone ample opportunity to provide feedback free of holiday distractions and time demands. In the meantime, we've been testing the robomoderation software, Secure Team-Based Usenet Moderation Program (STUMP). Several rec.radio.amateur.policy participants have graciously agreed to send us test submissions, many of which we have approved and posted to misc.test.moderated. At this point, anyone reading this newsgroup is welcome to send us test postings. Send such submissions to: We'll process them as if they were actual submissions to the proposed moderated newsgroup. Anything we approve will be posted to misc.test.moderated, so please don't send anything to that address that you don't want posted to Usenet, or at least add the text "not for publication" or "do not approve." We would be particularly interested in test postings that are PGP signed. Watch this space for further information after the first of the year. -- 73, Paul W. Schleck, K3FU Good luck with it Paul. I look forward to seeing Markie, Lloydie, Woger, Todd, Steve, Brian, Lenny, U-Know-Who, John, Robert, Jimmie, Scott and all CW test haters and lazy asses put in the dumpster. It will make usenet a much better place. And a real hams can save ham radio from the dumb it downers. Thanks, 73 de Slow Code |
