wrote in message ... Of course you do have a dog in this race as NEC easily shows much of what you say is utter, arm waving, nonsense. May I commend to you, early, the mature and civil approach to international debate which will come when you grow up? I notice you have absolutely nothing to say about the utility of NEC as a learngin tool... -- Jim Pennino |

![]() "gareth" wrote in message ... Relying on someone's NEC program to number crunch to produce the answer 42 is not the same as understanding what is going on as an aid to didactification of novices. But NEC is a good tool for learning. If your theoretical understanding does not match the results predicted by NEC, then a prudent course of action is to look at your theoretical understanding for errors. |

Likely because after a search of several dictionaries and a thesaurus there doesn't seem to be any such word. -- Jim Pennino |

It continues to be that you seek to lay at my door the personal nastiness that is your own style. Comparing my posts recently to yours, I regularly speak out against the abusive infants who seem to have escaped from the local kindergarten school, and you regularly exhibit yourself as being one of them. Grow up, Sonny! |

Stop indulging in ridiculisation and tomfoolerification and get back on track. Expansionification of the vocabulary by extendificationalisers is entirely valid. Andy |

Andy I'm not sure if RF exposure causes brain cancer, but RF certainly seems to be involved in the current increase in hippopotomonstrosesquipedalian verbage, cancer of the vocabulary, and buzzword hypertrophy epidemics. Please make an effort to avoid such sesquipedalian words.[1] I have the opposite problem. In the 1960's, as part of a teacher preparation and indoctrination program, I was required to reduce my vocabulary to something suitable for a 10 year old. That was about 1500 words. I don't think I ever fully recovered from the ordeal. See radio run, run radio run. Ever notice that antenna designers have fairly short last names? Moxon, Yagi-Uda, Vivaldi, Gray-Hoverman, Marconi, Hertz, etc. Those with longer names often use their shorter ham radio call signs. I'm not sure why the short names, but the effect suggests that there will never be a Liebermann antenna named after me. Bummer.
