Hi Tom

Thanks for the comment. But I respectully disagree. While I have qso with
some of (in my opinion) the most intelligent people I can talk with on the
HF and VHF bands. Especially on the HF bands because you must identify
yourself regularly. However on the internet I find when you have a
conversation with someone they are always asking you what color underwear
you are wearing or something stupid like that. Not the same as on my HF
rigs. I prefer the HF to the internet anyday. However, I do use this group
as a resource for information, my server doesn't give me many newsgroups
related to the questions I have asked. But if I ask the question, I get 10
responses, and half of them are flinging mud at me, the other half some
useful information I feel good. And I am thankful. And I still say there is
a lot of intelligence in here, and I love it.

I learned more about batteries this last week and today's way of dealing
with them and I know many readers here did also. Big win win. Crazy thing
is, I just refreshed my memory as I learned all this long ago, but forgot
it. Damn for braincell degeneration. Anyone recommend anything for that?
Scotch and vodka and vitamin b doesn't work. I can contest to that.

But back to your opinion of identifying yourself each time, and identifying
yourself entirely. Remember those 50% who fling mud? Well they are capable
of anything these days and anonamously throwing rocks through your windows
late at night is possible with some of these wackos. So the reason some
don't identify themselves all the time may not be because they are not hams,
they just want annonamity (spelling?) to keep their guard up as this
internet really brings out the worst in some people.

So one calles me an idiot, another calls me brainless.

One chap partially answers my question, thank you very much.

What happened to Hams? Used to be such a knowledgeable bunch, still are
however there are lots who are wanna bees and you can patrol the
newsgroups looking for whatever.

I have a pretty good question here Mark, Robby, just because you don't
know the answer, don't make it look like you are smarter than me.

So Robby, you called me an idiot, yet I asked the question, and you
haven't any idea about the question. Same to you Mark. Just because you
don't know about rechargeable AA batteries, keep your ignorance to
yourselves. I am asking, and just because you don't know a thing about
AA batteries, well, I recommend either you asking or take a course.

The best thing for you two to do is when someone asks a question, and
you don't know the answer, haven't even a clue. Just hang on the side
there and watch (or listen) and you will learn also.

I think I may have answered it myself anyway, I am charging for a full
charge then about 15% more which re-sets the timer. And I also agree
with Jeff, the first few charges in their genisis are important.

So there you go Mark and Robby, see you learned something here today,
you can thank me. Why not thank someone who helps you learn, instead you
call them names, fling some mud.

Good luck

My apologies for the group that used to be here.

Many of the people answering lately are not hams.

Those that are will show their calls. Those that hide are not hams.

Well, maybe. I don't have a defined sig with my call. I mention my call
periodically in case anybody wants to do a lookup.
