of tech class I doubt if Einstein had become a ham he could have ever
passed the code test at least not without depriving the world of a lot
of what he did bring us

I am the only that has read einstein and fathomed thorough his mind
that way?

AOF:

It would be a lie to say I could "fathom" Einstein, I only attempt to
stand within his shadow, possibly, someday, upon his shoulders ... well,
I can dream ...

I can fathom at least part of it I find interesting that Einstien and
I do both suffer from/are gifted with dyslexia and some of it fellow
travelers in what are LD's today because they do not fit well in our
educational system

I can understand and fathom what of his materail I can read ( and I
have once gotten to read some of hand written stuff a truely taxing
task with the depth of his dyslexia I can assure you, they are hand
written and in some way worse in spelling and conventcail gramuar than
much of my own writting

indeed reading his work is one of things that convince me that the
ability to spell is highly over rated esp by many posters here

working through what he says gives an understand quite impossible in
the polished drafted and somehwant flatened nature of his published
work

indeed reading einstain in few photocopies peiece of his original text
is one of the reason i refuse to polish my own work further I suspect
the reaction I get is in part due to the fact that in having to work
for it they reader is getting my thoiought at a deeper and more
distrubing level

which is exactly what I want

and likely something that would be banned by Pual et al

I can't lead on to futher explorations in that feild which is why I
moves from Physics to Geologigy and govt work

Many Extras consider themselves Einsteins...

They are not.

True...but they have Relatives!

Yea, I would agree.. We are not above average as a group....

Personally, I took the test expecting to fail, having just taken the
General to upgrade my Tech Plus. I figured, what the heck? It didn't
cost anymore to try and I had studied some. I didn't think I was
ready, but I passed so here I am, lucky to be an Extra in my
estimation.

So, do I consider myself an expert in all things Ham Radio by virtue
of my license class? Nope, I got a lot to learn and I'm sure there
are some folks out there who have a boat load more practical
experience than I, but have less privileges. The two Elmers who are
largely responsible for me getting my original license among them.
Thanks guys! (WB0WMP, K4GRW )

Oddly enough, virtually all the "extras" I met during my tenure as a
"non-extra" didn't consider themselves Einsteins either. Now that I'm an
Extra, I do not consider myself an Einstein either.

It seems that only a small subset of hams (and non-hams) who post to this
forum seem to run into these self-proclaimed Einstein Extras.

But then, if you read their postings long enough, you'll begin to understand
that this bias towards Extras really isn't due to the fact these extras are
self-proclaimed Einsteins, but rather the fact that these Extras passed a
20wpm code test at one point or another.

Not at all. Your 20WPM code tape Extra License is irrelevant.

When certain Extras tell me how to conduct my amateur life all the
while scarfing up a bunch of "club" calls, DX calls, and vanity calls,
then I see them as thinking they are somehow much more priveleged than
the next guy, AKA they're smarter than everyone else because they "Got
Over on The Man!"

When a Coast Guard Extra Lecturer aids and abets the scarfing up and
grabs one for himself, I have a problem with that, too.

It's just a case of people telling others what to do while being
inconsistent in their own lives... So get over yourselves.

If you're the next guy, I'm much more privileged than you. Pass the
exams, Mr. Cheese. You too can be more privileged.

By the way, I scarfed up a number of DX calls. I hope you don't mind.
