Because you told us that you hadn't used any other screen names "in
here" besides that long list of AOL ones.
I haven't been able to use Mog-Ur's EMS BBS in
years...
7, to be exact.
Tom closed it down after being one of the first 10 BBSs in
the USA. He had Internet access for about a year until it got too
expensive and subscribers left to go directly on the Internet.
Tom Tcimpdis (easy Greek surname, just pronounce it like it is written),
KC6MLR, television video director, twice won Emmys for outstanding
technical direction ("Night Court" series, "Sinatra, the Man and His
Music" special). Built his own BBS to start with years and years ago
from a Heath H8 microcomputer, had to write his own software to get
it going as a Bulletin Board System. Had a fairly good side business
of custom personal computer systems, may still do that. Private pilot,
multi-engine rated, a road rally sportsman from way back. You can see
his picture on QRZ.com...:-) Quaffed a few with Tom at the 94th
Aerosquadron Restaurant at Van Nuys Airport, a regular hang-out for
several San Fernando Valley BBS members of the 80s and 90s.
Is there a point to all this besides your trying to avoid the fact
that you forgot yet another screen name you used in rrap?
"Mog-Ur" is a character name taken from the novel "Clan of the Cave
Bear."
Actually, it's a title. The character's name is Creb. "The Mog-Ur" is
a title/function he performed in the Clan.
"EMS" is an acronym for Electronic Message System, in use
in computer-modem communications before EMS for Emergency
Medical Service became standards.. "Mog-Ur's" survives on the Internet
today after more than 20 years of existance.
Is there *any* relevance to all your verbiage? Someone asks you the
time, and you give them directions to Boulder and a long diatribe on
the development of the various atomic standards there.
My real name and current mailing address is the same as it appeared
many times as bylines in Ham Radio Magazine.
How is anyone to know that when reading your newsgroup posts?
Do you need ELECTRONIC SIGNATURES, authenticated by some
federal agency?!?!?
Go look in the FCC ECFS...under all the RMs from 10781 through 10787
and FCC 03-104. The listings have my postal address and my AOL
address.
Doesn't answer the question.
How is anyone who reads a post by
"
"
"
"
"
or
"
supposed to know that all of them are one and the same person - if,
indeed, they are? Particularly when your name does not appear anywhere
in many of them?
Why should they believe you when you say you have not posted by other
names, when it has been shown that your list of screen names left out
at least two that you have used?
Those articles
are well over a decade old, and "ham radio" (no caps in their logo) magazine
hasn't published a new issue for years.
Tsk, tsk, tsk. HAM RADIO Magazine,
There are no capital letters in the logo printed on the magazine
covers. They did the e.e.cummings thing. "ham radio" is the name of
the mag, not "HAM RADIO".
Just look at the cover.
an independent amateur radio
interest periodical (50,000 issues a month) lasted for TWENTY TWO
YEARS solely on the basis of advertising space sales.
That's not correct.
The magazine subscriptions cost money, so they did not exist "solely
on the basis of advertising space sales" If the subscription/newstand
price was $20 per year and there were 50,000 subscribers/newstand
buyers per month, that's a *million dollars* of revenue from
subscriptions. Back when $1,000,000 was a lot of money.
Existed ""solely on the basis of advertising space sales"? I think
not! Were that true, the subscriptions would have been free. Like most
industry magazines.
Also, I seriously doubt that the mag was 50,000 copies/month for the
entire 22 years.
Publisher
Skip Tenney finally sold it to CQ Communications and probably retired.
Founding Editor in Chief Jim Fisk (SK, ex-W1HR) wasn't around to help
keep up the interest of the readers of a technically-oriented magazine.
IOW, it ultimately failed in the marketplace. Too bad - it was a good
mag in its time.
Why do you live in the past so much?
Both CQ and ARRL sell a three-CD set of all 22 years of HR for $150
(shipping extra, always an extra with ARRL). Lots of good technical
information in there.
The newest of which is well over a decade old. Many of the parts used
in the projects are now made of unobtanium.
A complete set of QST is also available on CD. Every issue, all the
way back to December 1915. Almost four times as long as "ham radio"
QST is still being published - the oldest still-published radio
magazine in the world.
I've written for QST.
You haven't.
Why should anyone believe your calims when you can't even remember your screen
names? Someone who posts as much as you do would ordinarily remember such
things.
Ah, being the NEWSGROUP KOP!
Just asking a question. And pointing out your mistakes.
btw, it's spelled "cop".
Well, then Mister Kop, why don't you just make yourself Emperor of the
newsgroup and RESTRICT ACCESS only to those whom YOU APPROVE.
Until that happens, THIS newsgroup is still open to the public.
Is there a rule against asking questions? Or pointing out when
someone's statements are demonstrably mistaken?
I've been doing computer-modem communications since 1984, 19 years
in all...as a subscriber, as a Sysop, as a co-Sysop, and as a public
forum moderator.
But you're not the moderator here.
I'm NOT going to remember everything anymore than
you can over nearly a two decade span of time...
Nobody expects you to remember everyhting. That's what Google is for.
We do expect, however, that you behave in a civil manner and not be so
nasty when something you write is proven to be a mistake.
AND THERE IS NO
DAMN REASON TO REMEMBER EVERY PICKY LITTLE DETAIL TO
SOOTHE YOUR IMAGINED PERSONAL HURT.
Tsk, tsk, tsk. Poor angry baby! ;-)
No "hurt" on my part at all, Len. You're the one who is shouting and
carrying on. I'm just asking simple, direct questions. And pointing
out a few mistakes.
I have this nice card punch at the ready. Just hand me your "TS card"
and I will punch it for you...:-)
Sounds like another threat. Can you not resolve differences peaceably?
You may imagine yourself as a modern Jondalar or Creb, but you come
off like Broud and Attaroa.
