Paul has been a No Code Test advocate for many years. I have
been a Pro Code Test advocate for many years. Yet we are both
willing to read each other's postings without personal attacks.

I know some of the folks in the group of moderators. They are
all across the range of opinion on various subjects. I agree with
some and disagree with others.

The big question is this:

To my knowledge, there has never been a moderated amateur
radio newsgroup on Usenet. So this project is something
completely new, progressive and different. We're supposed to
support such things, aren't we?

If someone is really interested in discussing amateur radio issues,
why would they not give the new, progressive and different
newsgroup a chance, without prejudging the result before it
begins?

Perhaps the problem some folks have is that they know they
won't be able to post unsubstantiated claims or ad hominem
attacks - and that just takes out all the fun for them.

Paul is slick, he is prejudiced, he thinks the extras are the best

Moderation is hardly an open forum, it can easily be abused. I, even if
I alone, believe Paul is NOT the man to provide leadership. I do not
believe him to be either "fair" nor "just."

Why? Because Paul does possess a VERY strong personality. This is NOT
bad in and of itself. But, if abused, it is. I am claiming he has
demonstrated his abuse and that only members of this group, at large,
can rein him in.

As I directly have stated, I fear Paul only seeks a "good ole' boys

Yes. If Paul is as "slick" and "prejudiced" as you claim,
that should be easy to show from his old postings.

Best way to show that is to provide direct links to the Google
archives.

There might be a few posts from you I would like to include also ...


Go right ahead.

I

What does that mean, exactly? It sounds a little like a form
of ad hominem attack, in which being an Extra somehow
disqualifies someone from being objective.

What discussions do you want to have that you think would
not be allowed in a moderated group?

Let us cut to the chase, do you support making "the committee"
(moderators) for the moderated group out of a balanced range of
licenses, thoughts, ideas and "styles." Do you support ONLY banning
posts which are crude, vulgar and are only based on a personal attack?
Do you support allowing a "bit" of off-topic posts if they help support
and shore up the goodwill of amateurs, acting together? Do you support
stopping ANY strong personality or personalities from gaining control
and dominating a moderated group with control and dictator tactics? Do
you oppose allowing EXTRAS to be "lord" over the "peasants" of amateur
radio? Do you accept no code amateurs are just as deserving of the
right to use the public airwaves as any other?

Now, if you say NO to any of the above, we have a problem of
disagreement. If not we are in TOTAL agreement ...

That's total bull**** pronounced from ignorance of over
a decade of BBS activity in the USA prior to the Internet
becoming public in 1991. Note: "USENET" is carried ON
the Internet...it is NOT some separate, distinct, nor
original format venue that grew out of the original ARPANET.

"Moderation" is NOT something "new" in computer-modem
communications. It was practiced by Sysops on BBSs over
a quarter century ago.

As is common in academia, rank-title-status plus tenure are
the key ingredients to "leadership." In comparison to extras
there is only commonality, no difference. :-)

Moderation is hardly an open forum, it can easily be abused. I, even if
I alone, believe Paul is NOT the man to provide leadership. I do not
believe him to be either "fair" nor "just."


He writes that he is fair. But, we can't put that to the
test until around 2009 when the 11th (or so) RFD is
completed and the moderated newsgroup actually
exists...:-(

Why? Because Paul does possess a VERY strong personality. This is NOT
bad in and of itself. But, if abused, it is. I am claiming he has
demonstrated his abuse and that only members of this group, at large,

All amateur extras "KNOW what is best for (their) ham radio."

I have him in my filter files because he somehow found it acceptable to
reply to every off topic thread in all the Ham newsgroups with a command
to cease and desist replying to the OT posters.

In my book, that makes him as bad as anyone else.

Its my conclusion, years ago, that many posters in this forum are not
interested in things like "facts" when those facts contridict their own
little perceptions of reality, hatred of amateur extras, hatred of the ARRL,
etc.

I suspect that if the moderators consisted of Len Anderson, Brian Burke, and
Mark Morgan, the newsgroup would be perfectly fair and equitable to all
viewpoints, right? I'm sure there would be a good balance of postings,
including posts from Extra-class operators and ARRL members.

That's true. But, these olde-tymers have "had their way"

Yes, but the "welcomes" would STILL be out of the ARRL
hymn book, unchanged.

You forget that so many hams are so into THEIR thing
that they've seldom reached out of their own experiences
to imagine How To Do It with total strangers.

For example, that hoary old schtick "Talk anywhere else
in the world on your own radio!" with a ham license.
While true, the ionosphere is not open 24/7 and folks in
far lands aren't keeping the same time as any in the 7
time zones of the USA. A little handheld cell phone
can do it, no sweat. Co$t? Much less than a fraction
of a ham station, antenna, cost and the nasty looks from
spouse or family on wasting time with ham radio.

"Learn a lifelong whatever?" Possibly for a teen-ager.
For Mr/Ms Ordinary Other Job Skill probably NOT.
One thing all these "I-learned-it-as-a-teenager" extras
forget that there isn't any set "requirement" to do it
that way. Since they kept harping on the "no age
limit" thing they've totally forgotten that it works the
OTHER way on the "age spectrum."

When you boil everything down to a slow simmer you
won't find ANY of these lofty radiomen interested in
helping others, only themselves. Everything from
collecting Titles and Certificates to Club Calls for
clubs that don't exist.

They won't step out of their Personal-Interest area to
see how other groups do it, won't acknowledge other
groups surviving, and think the world of reality is still
the same as when they were young long ago.

I don't know the "answers" to getting anyone involved.
I can - dispassionately - tell them what the amateur
radio service is supposed to be. I would rather tell
them about the wonderful opportunities in engineering
or many other technologically-oriented occupations.
It's NOT my job to "tell" these lofty "superior" amateurs
how to do it. If they were so damn "superior" they
would already KNOW. shrug

I think you should quit, anonymous John. Which general--Wesley Clark?

You seem to see some conspiracy in the creation of the moderated
newsgroup. There are other moderated newsgroups which work quite well.
There are a number of moderated e-mail reflectors which works quite
well. No one who behaves as Len Anderson is permitted to post to the
topband reflector, the Ten-Tec reflector, The Butternut antenna
reflector or the DX reflector. No Mark Morgans issue countless "Wogger
on rrapage" posts. No Roger Wisemans foul the reflectors with demented
filth.

As soon as one of Len's tirades veered off course into an anti-ARRL
rant, filled with "tsk, tsk" and "poor baby", his post would be dumped.
His "Spanky Spanky", "Herr Oberst", "Sister Nun of the Above" and the
like would get him banned in short order. He'd have to behave or he'd
be given the boot.

It really is that simple.

Well then, anyone with less than a general would be a good candidate for
support to "Joe Blow Ham." Well, as long as they weren't a good ole'
buddy of the "evil extras."

Maybe one extra, one general, one tech, etc. Can't see how that would
look "stacked", long as they demonstrated they weren't all "good ole'
buddies."

You've introduced another of your factual errors, Leonard.
Barring a solar flare, it is quite possible for me to talk to radio
amateurs in other parts of the world around the clock if I have some
knowledge of propagation and of sunrise/sunset times. I can work the
Japanese, Asiatic Russians, Australians, New Zealanders and the like on
160, 80 and 40 meters near my sunrise. I can work Europe, the Middle
East and Africa during my morning and afternoon hours on at least one of
the bands 10/12/15/17/20m. Near my sunset I can work the Europeans,
Middle East and Africa on 30, 40, 80 or 160m.

I would have thought that a man with your expertise would have known
these things.

A little handheld cell phone
can do it, no sweat. Co$t? Much less than a fraction
of a ham station, antenna, cost and the nasty looks from
spouse or family on wasting time with ham radio.


Does it cost less? Start calling folks in Japan and Australia. See
those minutes add up. Do you think you'd get funny looks from your
spouse or family if you told them that you were just calling a series of
overseas friends every day for a chat?



"Learn a lifelong whatever?" Possibly for a teen-ager.
For Mr/Ms Ordinary Other Job Skill probably NOT.
One thing all these "I-learned-it-as-a-teenager" extras

It is difficult to make out just what you mean, Len. What works what
OTHER way on the "age spectrum"? Do you mean that there is an upper age
limit? Do you mean that old folks have other things to do? Do you mean
that amateur radio wouldn't be lifelong for an old person?


When you boil everything down to a slow simmer you
won't find ANY of these lofty radiomen interested in
helping others, only themselves.


Now you're making additional factual errors based on your lack of
personal knowledge. Now you can let your slow simmer turn to a slow burn.

Everything from
collecting Titles and Certificates to Club Calls for
clubs that don't exist.


Pardon me for noticing, but the above doesn't appear to be factual or a
sentence.

They won't step out of their Personal-Interest area to
see how other groups do it, won't acknowledge other
groups surviving, and think the world of reality is still
the same as when they were young long ago.


Excuse me, Leonard. I hate to interrupt spirited soapbox oratory, but I
don't understand what when you write "to see how other groups do it" and
"won't acknowledge other groups surviving".

I'm under no misunderstanding that today's world is the exactly the same
as it was when I grew up. Some things don't change. There are parents
and children and family budgets and competing areas of interest.

I don't know the "answers" to getting anyone involved.
I can - dispassionately - tell them what the amateur
radio service is supposed to be.


....as you've been told and as you understand it.

I would rather tell
them about the wonderful opportunities in engineering
or many other technologically-oriented occupations.


I think you'd be the last guy in the world I'd want to ask about leisure
activities then.

It's NOT my job to "tell" these lofty "superior" amateurs
how to do it.


You've told us for years that it was your job. You became a
self-appointed advocate.

If they were so damn "superior" they
would already KNOW. shrug


If you were so damn "superior", you'd have had that "Extra right out of
the box" for seven years.

You know, I am glad you brought this all up.

No, not a conspiracy in terms of "gov't. conspiracy." Just normal
"human conspiracy", like when the republicans oppose the democrats and
the reverse, and they get together and put together a "game plan." Just
dirty little street smart tricks and tactics to get ones wishes put over
on another. Like when you call up a friend and get him to help and/or
support what you wish to accomplish, or join a group or club which
supports your interests, or join a lobbying group, etc.

You know, exactly what Mr. Schleck is so good at, why I call him
"political", why I refer to those aiding him in his "game plan", the
henchmen. You know, like stacking the deck with all extras which are in
agreement with him and have egos equal his size.

Ban Len, you mentioned banning Len in your post I am responding to?
Well yes, that is "part of the game plan" I would imagine, and anyone
else not falling into the moderated plan.

Yes, that is what they EXACTLY have in mind, take a public newsgroup and
turn it into a "good ole' boys club."

Well, if that is what they want, let them engage in a private forum
which is available on the internet. You know, they can set up a room
for themselves on an instant messenger. They can create a private chat
room on IRC. Hell, they can set up a private email list and sit there.

Why confuse a public newsgroup with a private chat room or private
instant messenger chat room.

Naaa, that "Military Conspiracy" stuff is all theirs. That is why they
have to run things they way they are attempting ...

I suspect you attempt to wear me out, when you pick apart the longest
posts and stretch them to eternity.


You suspect wrong, John. I'm just looking for information.

Besides, with 174 postings to rrap so far this month, I don't think I
could wear you out by simply asking some questions.

Let us cut to the chase, do you support making "the committee"
(moderators) for the moderated group out of a balanced range of
licenses, thoughts, ideas and "styles." *


Depends on what is meant by "balanced". Does it mean that there
must be a certain number from each license class, with the standards
lowered for some and raised for others to make sure that numerical
"balance" is achieved no matter what?

Do you support ONLY banning
posts which are crude, vulgar and are only based on a personal attack?


I support blocking posts which are crude, or vulgar, or which contain
personal attacks, or which contain clear uncorrected factual errors,
or which are so off-topic as to have no clear connection to amateur
radio. Off-topic blocking should be used sparingly, because IMHO in
most cases some sort of connection to amateur radio can be made.

Do you support allowing a "bit" of off-topic posts if they help support
and shore up the goodwill of amateurs, acting together? *


Yes!

Do you support
stopping ANY strong personality or personalities from gaining control
and dominating a moderated group with control and dictator tactics?


Depends on what you mean by "strong personality".

*Do
you oppose allowing EXTRAS to be "lord" over the "peasants" of amateur
radio?


I don't need to oppose what doesn't happen.

*Do you accept no code amateurs are just as deserving of the
right to use the public airwaves as any other?


I consider all amateurs who have passed the required tests and who
have clean records to be equally deserving to use the privileges
granted by their licenses.

Or, to put it another way: Any licensed radio amateur who plays by
the rules and good operating practice is a "real ham" in my book,
regardless of license class, vintage of tests passed, modes or bands
used, age, gender, etc.

I haven't yet seen an FCC-issued amateur radio license with the term
"no code" on it. All FCC-licensed amateurs are allowed to *use* Morse
Code. Some have passed test(s) on it, some haven't, that's all.

Now, if you say NO to any of the above, we have a problem of
disagreement. *If not we are in TOTAL agreement ...


Whatever.

But the big question is this: You have described Paul Schleck as
"slick" and "prejudiced" without any proof other than your
opinion.

You have claimed that "he has demonstrated his abuse and that only
members of this group, at large, can rein him in."

You have stated: "Are you asking me to dig up old posts are re-post
them to
make my point un-undeniably clear?"

and

"There might be a few posts from you I would like to include
also ..."

To which I again reply: "Show me".

If Paul is as you say, then it should be a simple matter to show me
the
evidence from his postings to Usenet. You made the claims, but now
you're not backing them up.

This isn't a "DEMAND". It's just a request. But if you want me to
accept your
claims about another person, you need to provide me with evidence, not
just
unsupported statements.

Why should I prejudge what Paul & Co. will do without even giving him
and his
bunch a chance? It's not like his moderated group would replace any
existing group.

What discussions about amateur radio do you want to have that you
think would
not be allowed in a moderated group?

I asked a question in news.groups.proposals as to exactly what the
correlation was between someone's ham radio license class and their ability
to effectively moderate a USENET newsgroup.

Nobody came up with a suitable response, thus, I have to conclude there *IS*
no relationship between the two.

I'll still wait for a suitable answer, logically presented, at which time I
reserve the right to change my opinion.

From every posting I've seen, it appears to me that those who object the
loudest to the proposed moderation team are those who seem to have a
deep-seated bias/hatred of extra-class hams and the ARRL in general.

Well, Paul W. Schleck is a politician, he can say one thing and do
another, simple really, you see it all the time. The moderation groups
intention is to stop all board discussion on amateur radio and only
support the wishes and steerage of a relatively few hams--especially
those of a certain group of extra class license holders. They mean to
keep the old class system, established on morse, in effect.

You do not need to listen to the lies to know the truth I have stated

one-hundred-and-seventy-four-postings? Geesh, I must be getting old,
when I was younger I would have quadrupled that number by now--just

By "balance", I mean the group of moderators should represent the true
"picture" of all amateurs. The moderators composed of all extras is a
DEAD GIVEAWAY it does not--that seems a simple enough concept to grasp,
to me.

Now on crude, vulgar, posts on sexual preference, and completely "off
base" posts--we agree. At least that pleases me to no end. NEVER ALLOW
THEM!

Seems we agree on "friendly" posts which might miss the topic by a point
or two, pose no one an attack and simply do no harm. This pleases me,
our agreement they SHOULD be tolerated.

However, you darn well know there are many extras who DO attempt to be
"Lord" over the "peasant" tech-holding-no-coders. That is a damn lie.
Posts which have gone here before more than support that. I am sure
anyone reading this has memories of those posts.

Seems we can also agree, the public airwaves are just that, public.
Methods and means need to found and implemented to place these back into
the hands of Joe Blow Public--where they belong ...

Now, as to Paul, he has consistantly shown real "political talents", he
simply promises all things to everyone. In the end you get a moderation

Len in to point out their faulty thinking about as willingly as I would
live with a rattlesnake! There is much truth in Lens' posting,
sometimes they are just a bit cryptic and it has to be "dug" for.
However, those he points 'em at are so blinded by their egos, they think
it is all BS--it ain't ...

We will see about posting some of those old posts I referred to here,
when I need them, you will see them ...

However, N2EY, you have at least "textually" made concessions I did not
expect! At first I am tempted to think I "had you all wrong." Then I
remember the "Standard Tactics of the Extras", which is "Say One Thing,
Do Another."

Hmmm. That is weird, just had a vision of a group of people calling
themselves the EXTRA-KKK. Dressed in white robes. Showing up in the
middle of the night. Pulling down CB antennas with red neck chevey
trucks. Bustin' 'em up and rearranging them in the shape of a cross,
wrapping 'em in rags, dousing 'em in gas and torching 'em.

Darn, I hate visions like that ... guess I'd better lay off these

No, John, I'm afraid you have it wrong. That is not the intent at all.

back up your conspiracy theories instead of just presenting wild
accusations.

You haven't stated any truths, John. You've only presented some
crackpot view.

Who says that should be the case? The posters will present a view of
amateur radio. Do you think the newsgroup to which you are posting does
that?

The moderators composed of all extras is a
DEAD GIVEAWAY it does not--that seems a simple enough concept to grasp,
to me.


For an anonymous fellow who likes to condescend, I don't see your
statement as logically sound. Your concept is simple to grasp if you
throw common sense and logic out the window.

Now on crude, vulgar, posts on sexual preference, and completely "off
base" posts--we agree. At least that pleases me to no end. NEVER ALLOW

I'm glad to see that there are points on which we can agree.

Seems we agree on "friendly" posts which might miss the topic by a point
or two, pose no one an attack and simply do no harm. This pleases me,

They could be tolerated with a note to the poster that his post is
really off-topic.

However, you darn well know there are many extras who DO attempt to be
"Lord" over the "peasant" tech-holding-no-coders. That is a damn lie.


Your statement? I think we've seen a similar number of lower class
ticket holders who feel that they know all there is to know. We even
have a one fellow with no license who tries to lord it over all radio
amateurs.

Posts which have gone here before more than support that. I am sure
anyone reading this has memories of those posts.

Seems we can also agree, the public airwaves are just that, public.


Usenet isn't the public airwaves, "John".

Methods and means need to found and implemented to place these back into
the hands of Joe Blow Public--where they belong ...


That isn't the way it works, "John". We have the FCC to regulate access
to the airwaves. You can't set up and operate an FM broadcast station
just because you want to. You can't get on the amateur bands just
because you want to.

Now, as to Paul, he has consistantly shown real "political talents", he
simply promises all things to everyone.


He's never promised me a thing.

In the end you get a moderation
group of Paul and his henchmen--that is SLICK!!!


Your use of the word "henchmen" is slick. Your unsubstantiated
accusations are slick.

And, I am sure the
techs are thrilled.


Are they?


I don't even think the generals appreciate that
much ...


Just for grins, which license class do you hold, "John"?

You know as well as I, Paul imagines his little robo-guard on
duty, armed with ip addys, newsserver ips and names, just ready to
killfile posts from those NOT supporting their ideas. Close your eyes,
you can see it to--called "human conspiracy." That bunch would allow
Len in to point out their faulty thinking about as willingly as I would

That has to be the wildest conspiratorial nonsense I've seen in this
group for quite some time.

There is much truth in Lens' posting,
sometimes they are just a bit cryptic and it has to be "dug" for.


....and sometimes there is nothing at the bottom of the hole after all
that digging.

However, those he points 'em at are so blinded by their egos, they think
it is all BS--it ain't ...


You don't know any of us, "John". Len is a sidewalk superintendent to
amateur radio. He sits on the sidelines and shouts, "that's no way to
do that!"

We will see about posting some of those old posts I referred to here,
when I need them, you will see them ...


Great.

However, N2EY, you have at least "textually" made concessions I did not
expect! At first I am tempted to think I "had you all wrong."


You probably did have Jim all wrong. As I pointed out, you don't know
any of us.

Then I
remember the "Standard Tactics of the Extras", which is "Say One Thing,
Do Another."


I had some hope for you, "John". You've just slid back into the mire.

However, I hold out hope ...


What is it that you're hoping, "John?" Are you hoping that the
moderated newsgroup doesn't come into existence?
