How many other people who are not engineers or scientists do you
see
posting around here?

In discussions about short antennae, quite a few from Yankland.

I'm just a regular ole ham here. Never studied any of this stuff
in school, and don't work in any related field.
Everything I've learned, I learned on my own.

It shows.

Big talk from rraa's new purveyor of bafflegab

Read and learn a bit more.

About what? I read what I need to read in order to do whatever it is
I need to do. I don't need to read any more about small antennas in order
to deal with the likes of you. As you recall, I was probably the first
one
to jump on you when you falsely claimed that small radiators are
inefficient.
Anyone that has actually read up on the subject knows that that is not
true.
If anyone needs to invest in some good textbooks on the subject, it's
you.

Hmmm... I wonder if his obsession with *small* antennas is due to a
personal issue of having a *small* antenna?


I was just thinking the same thing - but you beat me to it :)

Everything I've learned, I learned on my own. Mainly from books,
of which I have several. I trust good textbooks a lot more than I
trust usenet jibber jabber. Usenet jibber jabber is only as good
as the qualifications of the one jabbering. Some info is good, some
is bad, and some is pure unadulterated bafflegab.

Will you do us *all* a favor and stop replying to him? You keep feeding
the tosser... er, I mean troll.

Why don't you kiss my differential. If I want to reply to him I will,
and I don't care if chaps the ass of every "Rick" on the planet.
No one is holding a pistol to your head making you read it.





rickman has a valid point. Most of us ignore his rantings - at least
most of the time. It took me a while to learn that, but my life on
usenet has gotten better since I started ignoring him.

There's an old saying: "Don't wrestle with a pig. You only get dirty
and the pig enjoys it."

I enjoy wrestling with pigs. It's good wholesome entertainment
for the whole family. :)

Actually the saying is, "you both get dirty, but the pig enjoys it." Do
you enjoy getting dirty with the pig? The rest of us don't like watching.

In reality you are just embarrassing yourself just as Gareth is. Gareth
doesn't realize it (being the pig). Do you?

Know anything about loops? I had a thread going on that.

Not much. I've always wanted to play with small loops, but never got into
it.

At one time, my HF antenna was an attic horizontal 4 sided loop, about 14
foot on a side. Not too bad for the constraints applied.

I have not said anything to embarrass myself. And even if I did,
what's it to you? As I've said before, I find you to be a bigger
horses ass than Gareth. He's just silly and ignorant. You on the
other hand are an arrogant horses ass who seems to think that I
should really care what you think. When I need someone like you
to tell me how to post, I'll let you know. Don't hold your breath
waiting, unless you want to end up tango uniform.

I've been here for at least 15 years, and until you came along,
no one has had any issues with any of my posts. Ever.
So it sounds like a definite personal problem to me.

Ok, you seem to like the drama as much a Gareth. I guess you are two
cut from the same cloth and there is no point in trying to reason with
you.

I'm curious. Why do you append the material you are replying to with
the # character? That doesn't seem to work with most newsreaders and
the attribution gets confused.
