Then, why the opening remarks then and now, with this post, about how long
Carl was a Tech and his alledged comments on CW? Why enter that into your
remarks at all, Dave, if not to cast attention to that? If you are casting
attention to that, then why?

Dave has a problem with the old Techs, the Tech Plusses, and
presumably the Techs with Code.

I didn't address those you mention. I addressed Carl.

Exactly. You continued to address Carl as if he were a Tech. Which
he is not.

No, I continued to address Carl as a churl, which he is.

Which is how you address Techs.

They aren't 13wpm hams. They aren't
worthy to share his band space.

No, they haven't been tested at 13 wpm or at 20 wpm. I didn't address
that issue.

Oh, my. Oh, dear. You merely addressed Carl's tenure on the
Technician band space.

I didn't address space at all. I addressed Carl's sitting on an old
Tech ticket for 2 1/2 decades until the requirements were lowered.

Ding, ding, ding. The bell on my M28 rings each time you bring that up.

Now that Carl can share Dave's band space...

Carl may share some space with me.

Carl can share any space with you that he wishes. That is what the
FCC mean's by issuing him an Extra license. Get used to it. Naw,
nevermind.

Carl may share some space.

May share all space.

While the FCC permits Carl the same access
as I hold, no amount of wishing on his part will make it likely that
Carl will share space with me in some areas of the bands. If such did
come to pass, he likely wouldn't recognize that fact.

Nor would you. You treat him as if he were still a Tech.

There are plenty of areas on a
number of bands where I doubt I'll run into Carl. Come to think of it,
I doubt I'll run into you in those spots.

Duh! I don't have Extra priv's, Oh Master of Amateur Radio!!!

Duh, indeed! I don't operate only in Extra Class band segments but I do
use morse about 50% of the time. I'm banking on not running into you.

I don't need West Virginia.

Go work some Frenchmen on 6M. I've heard they've got all kinds of
priveleges!!!

French hams fall under the jurisdiction of the French PTT.

Indeed they do.

I don't tell
them where they can operate and neither does the FCC.

Nor does the government of Tanzania.

They are
responsible for the operation of their stations and I am responsible
only for the operation of mine.

Smoke 'em if you got 'em.
