All right, here's a well drawn post in which I can sink my teeth. Bob

To the contrary, I find 20 meters prime spectrum of interesting hams. Taking a break from business, I had the pleasure of talking all day on 20, only a minor part about the K1MAN story. , At the risk, "Preacher", of being characterized as being one of the uninteresting Hams on 20 meters, may I? Yes, you often do talk "all day on 20". And you talk, and you talk, and you talk. At the end of the day, Bob, you have spent hours talking, and in the process you actually say little. Yes, previous posters are, in the vernacular, 'right on the money' when they comment that many of them have made it a habit to spin their VFO to another frequency when you arrive on scene. Why do you suppose this is, Bob? Obviously what you have to say/bloviate is of little to no importance to the majority of Hams within earshot of you, but that hardly gave you reason to pause, did it? You blab on, undeterred, and are somehow convinced that you are offering something of interest and value. And, Bob? Please DO try to be just a tad bit less verbose. I realize that you fancy yourself as a wordsmith, but try, at least, to keep your vocabulary within the context of what it is you are attempting to convey. You are, for the most part, not dazzling any of us with your attempts at brilliance. , In my view, 20 has undergone a sea shift for the better. Diatribes? If that is the way you wish to characterize this type of communication, be my guest. Bob Sherin, W4ASX , Yes, Bob. In your view I am sure it has. Meanwhile, Bob, many of us will continue to do as we have been doing when we hear you on 20M. Turn you off. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- W4ASX Replies 11/23/2005 Blah Blah Blah, Thank you for your post. I especially appreciate it because your points and position, well expressed, are clear. Pluralism, the concept essentially of "different strokes for different folks" is the responsive topical sentence. For sure, the realization is there that not everyone is interested in the subject-matter of my posts. Also, that writing, as an art form, is challenging. What turns me on is to sink my teeth into a story of which I have unique knowlege and try to reach an audience with that knowledge who come away entertained and better informed. Well understood is the difficulty of word-smithing. For our language is so very rich when wielded to its full extent. All words have semantical frameworks, so the choice is exacting. Does my effort to write mean I'm a great writer? No. Ever since trying to go beyond myself in writing 30 years ago, I've struggled to improve, marvelling at those successful people whose text leaps off the page. Notwithstanding, I think through my posts, spend time editing, read responses with arespect, then try to participate, changing according to the input coming back. If you put my call and name into a newsgroup search, you'd be surprised with the results. This isn't the only place nor subject on which I post. I've posted in groups on religion and law as well. I'm also a published author in publications too numerous to list here, but here are some: The Miami Herald, The Miami News, Computer World, Datamation, the Westside Gazette, Florida Skip, South Florida Business Journal. I was paid for some of the articles. So to tell me, I'm not read is clearly false. I know I'm read from your responsive posts, calls, emails, and knowledge people often show who communicate with me. You can also read it on the Net: One ham posted (about the KV4FZ story): to understand the KV4FZ story, "see Bob Sherin, W4ASX's work." More, to critcize operation on ham radio is self defeating. If we need anything, we need to get the hams out and on the air, whether it be code, rag chewing or contests. To characterize my operation on ham radio is a waste of time in the face of my disclosure that I'm up to my ears in business and use this collosssus for relaxation, is a misrepresentation. The fact is, I'm not on much of the time when I'm on the road doing gigs. Whatever your opinions, fellow hams, have a happy holiday, at a time when I have 3 gigs scheduled, moving my 85 pound Peavy speakers and sound systems around. You enjoy while I work. Bob Sherin, W4ASX |
