Cecil:

You know, that wasn't right, I just passed that off with such a "frivolous
air."

It is a shame to see one erect him/herself as a "God", intolerant,
commanding and shoving a stone tablet into your hands. Removing
themselves to a "throne" which none can visit (debate, argument, learning)
except if commanded (allowed?) to do so.

(must make it difficult to sit down, for the "God" I mean, attempting to
take a seat with multiple lips stuck to yer bottom! Poor bugger! grin)

What causes this to occur I really can only guess at, best guess is
blinded by the light of their own ego, but may affect the elderly more-so
than other groups, we all need to be aware, we will all be there...

I understand and pity them, have seen the same within my immediate
family... frown

Sorry, but amateur radio is meant to be a hobby (at least one use of it
is!), I don't think it is a crime to have a bit of fun either. Amateur
radio assuming a "pseudo-military" air ruins its' use to many and attracts
far too many with a rigid, disciplinarian and warrior mentality...

And, sorry again, I see newsgroups as a "social cocktail party", or a
"town hall meeting", not a church where you worship gods and get a sermon
by a priest... of course, my demeanor here has all ready given that
away--most likely... I like the complex and intricate here--your
arguments along with richards' and others are appreciated (you cause me
to dig out my programmable calculator and follow along), and the
practical is much appreciated too, even the "unconventional" challenging
the accepted is/are good for brain food...
