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...

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.

Nobody normal, anyway.

"gareth" (Gareth Alun Evans) likes to bandy about long words in an
attempt to make himself look learned and erudite, when in reality it
just marks him out as a pompous old fool.

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.

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.

Are you teaching Congress?

Or is that too high a level for them?
