Let's demand Ms. Kott learn to do calligraphy, make handmade parchment
and operate an old franklin press, before we license her to be a mag's
editor!
"Let's", "we license"? Are you involved in those things, "John"? Is
there a licensing requirement for magazine editors?

Many things in this country have been totally dumbed down. Ms. Kott is
right on the mark. Amateur radio has been being dumbed down over the
past decade or two.

"Dave" are you kidding? Bypassing the military communication school
because you had a ham license was only the beginning of your "dumbing
down."

No, Brian Burke, I'm not kidding. I was permitted to bypass military
tech school because I passed exams which demonstrated that I knew the
relevant material. It was very much like challenging a university
course and it was something long-offered by the Air Force. Weren't you
given such an opportunity?

Then let's see how she feels about "dumbing down."

How do you feel about it? Do you generally find that things are better
after the amount of knowledge required to participate has been reduced?

"Dave," you tell us.

It seems to me that I've done so. Catch up on your reading.

Have you noticed how much better pro basketball has become now that
traveling is not called?

Have you noticed how many more Frenchmen you can work on 6 meters when
license priveleges are ignored?

I've never ignored my license privileges at any time, Brian.

How do you feel about the "new" pro basketball game?
