Imagine a televised debate on a matter, say a political one, where you have
candidates behind either a table they're sitting at or a podium they are
standing behind.. The first candidate begans to spew out all his ideas and
what he wants to see happen and what he'd do if his side of the issue one,
and then when the other candidate stepped up for his or her retort, the
first candidate just stuck his fingers in his ears, rocked his head back and
forth and looked up and the ceiling and started humming loudly to himself so
he couldn't see or hear anything from the other side. Now, he doesn't know
what the other side said, and probably doesn't care...

but the important matter is THIS.. what do all the voters in the audience
think of that fellow???? makes you want to rub your chin and go
"hmmmmmmmm...."

Imagine the same debate where the first candidate makes no points on topic
whatever, lies about the qualifications and personal history of the other
candidate, and injects a string of personal insults as part of his off-topic
diatribe. The audience just sits there looking at each other because they
know that extremely rude person has just blatantly lied to them. I wonder
how many votes that first candidate would get?

Brian,

You know that for a fact, do you?

I see no evidence of one.

That candidate stole the election in 1992.

My QTH in Ontario, Canada, and my callsign is a VE3 one.

It took you THIS long to get with your PCTA contact to get fed
a line to use to try to pump up your legitamacy?

Anybody who has been on the internet more than a few months
nows the secrets of sender blocking (your reality-dodging
PCTA buddies already are using it), and how to avoid spam by
using spam blocking emails... PLUS you could have just been
smart by not sending out your email addy anyway.

IF morse (i.e. radiotelegraphy) had any basis as a foundation

Faulty logic, Bill.

"Radio" is but a small, specialized part of electrical engineering. That's
one
reason Morse isn't and wasn't part of the curriculum. Heck, soldering is a
much
bigger part of electrical engineering than radio, and soldering is not
taught
in EE school either.

But if someone wants to learn radio on their own, and wants to
learn-by-doing,
amateur radio can be a really fun way to learn. Skill in Morse code is an
excellent tool in that learning process.

Then yoiu should have no problem gaining morse users from those that
want to learn by doing after the code test is gone.

And by that same reasoning, there's no reason to test for most of
what's in the written test, because there should be no problem gaining
technically-inclined people who want to learn by doing after the
theory parts of the written test are gone.

No. My "model of behavior" in here was originally KH2D, an ardent
PCTA and far more caustic than I was at the time.

The other "models of behavior" were still more PCTAs, most of whom
have left. Those PCTAs either went SK or they went to schoolyards
or old age homes to beat up on people they could handle.

All of that is back at Google archives.

A simple Google search will easily verify that.

Everyone is welcome to search ALL of Google as far as I'm concerned.

Look at ALL of it.

Those that do will see the blatant HYPOCRISY of your claim.

You have the right to remain silent, too - why not invoke that one for
a change?

Leo



I knew your real inner character and feelings would come out if
you kept talking enough, and you JUST did.

No, I will not shut up simply because I have factually destroyed
your position and then continued further to expose YOU for WHO
you are and WHAT you do.

Leo the unbiased objective reader, who attacks NCTA members
for using character attacks, said THIS on september 25, referring
to *certain members* of this NG...

"For the most part, it's an intelligent and good natured
animal - but you do have to watch out for the pricks.... ;)"

I will NOT ask you to shut up... or, how did you put it? invoke
my right to remain silent? (funny, I didn't know I had violated the
law and needed to invoke my rights)... on the contrary, I ask
you to KEEP talking and continue revealing yourself for
what and who you are. You just haven't learned.
