Welp, he tried to appease them by joining in one of their CW nets, but

A fitting closure for this egocentric, confused, whining, alleged

rrap, that is to say, a major pain in the ass sponsored by Intel corp.

"Gareeb" (another anonymouse) who wasn't here, wasn't there,
wasn't much of anywhere...seems to want to vent.

Poor baby.

"Gareeb" can't stand Cecil, wants to take swipes at Intel Corporation.

Why? Intel isn't any subject for AMATEUR policy discussion.

Cecil retired from Intel, his last corporate employer in a long career
of electronics industry work. Cecil has a number of patents granted
(more than the Katapult King) and is an independent thinker. Not a
whiny parody of those who wish to have CW as king and continue to
make U.S. amateur radio into the Archaic Radiotelegraphy Service.

Perhaps Paul Schleck ought to take a poll and establish the Archaic
Radiotelegraphy Service "policy" newsgroup...where all the
anonymousies can go and Vent all their bilge and bile to their heart's
content?

NO independent thinking to be allowed in this new Anonymousie
Policy newsgroup! All must slavishly follow The Old Man, worship
at the Church of St. Hiram, extoll the "virtues" of CW until the last
code key is pried out of cold, dead fingers.

Okay, Paul, where be you? :-)

Ha ha ha , stick it where the sun don't shine you
old retired fool. I was here in 1995 which is way before you joined or
even knew about the existence of usenet (I think you first showed
your ugly face in 1997 when aol performed the ultimate insult to the
internet community by availing usenet available to its 'members', who
would otherwise have no clue as to how to get here). Cecil thought
quite highly of himself, all you had to do was ask him. Your greatest
accomplishment in life is 30 years of 1 years experience. I will say
that Cecil did have the intellect to learn code (or at least how to
pass the test), you can't even do that. Get out of my face aol'er. As
we used to say in those days, find a real ISP.

Come to think of it, it occurs to me that there may be a relationship
between aol'ers and those who can't learn code. Hmmmm....

Hmmmm....I use AOL, and I learned and use Morse Code.

There are exceptions...I merely said there 'may' be a 'relationship'
in the statistical sense, certainly not the absolute sense. Did you
learn code only to pass the test? Can you still do 15wpm? Do you beat
your wife? See, there are many other considerations to factor in.

Yep, I'm one of 'em. There are lots more.

Of course.

Did you
learn code only to pass the test?

At first. I became a ham 37 years ago in large part because I wanted to join
the folks on 75 AM. But once I was exposed to the code and used it on the air,
I found I liked it, and just kept on using it. Wound up passing all six code
tests (5/13/20 wpm, sending and receiving).

Can you still do 15wpm?

Oh yes. More than double that, in fact. Also much less. 5-40 wpm or
thereabouts, what ever the situation calls for.

Do you beat
your wife?

I haven't mentioned marital status here. Not relevant. But I don't beat anyone.


See, there are many other considerations to factor in.

Such as?
