I wonder why manufacturers don't make rigs without CW, that would be far
less embarrassing for the code-less. Oh! Wait! They do.....they are
known as handie-talkies, and the no-coders obsess about programming
them(must lock it to the 2m band!), software, programming cables, and
which CTCSS each repeater uses.

Did you see that one new Full complained that activity on his local
repeaters has fallen off since he was licensed? Utterly coincidental, of
course. He sounded like the sort of person who gets stuck in a traffic
jam with no-one returning his calls.

I have lost count of the many threads, always started by the code-less,
on the many forums I subscribe to asking which microphone is best for
xxxx radio. Talk about embarrassing! Then we have next level code-less
fcuk wittery AKA ESSB. Did you mention obsession?

Do you think it's possible the local repeater community didn't realise
what an endless source of amusement had fallen into their laps?

The first, "Could anyone tell me what repeater this is please" probably
did the damage ;-)

You have a vivid imagination Frank, unless you are frequenting CB
forums that is.

The truth is Brian that CB'ers frequent the forums I subscribe to, I
mean you yourself have replied to this post. You might want to check out
the apache labs groups where the most recent "which microphone thread"
was started by one of your codeless NUHam CB peers. Such fcuk wittery in
an international forum, you much be so proud of the scheme you designed
and implemented!

Of course, given your history, that is more than
likely- keeping in touch with your old crowd.

I have no history Brian the childish and puerile fantasies you post here
about me. I must /really/ intimidate you.

Again, your vivid imagination Frank.

Moi? You're fantasising about me again YFI.

Is your knowledge of operating
so limited that you don't know the meaning of simplex?

What has this got to do with me? You're clearly out of touch with
reality Brian. Dear me, how the mighty have fallen.

You can be
honest, I doubt anyone would be shocked if you admitted it, after all
your technical ineptitude is well known.

Such an imagination! I'm in awe!
