In certain technical matters, perhaps. But in the formation
of policy for the amateur service, why would such
experience outside amateur radio be more significant than
another's experience as a radio amateur?


I read back over what I said, and didn't see anything about it being "more
significant."


Should we ask Howard Stern about amateur radio policy?


And I don't remember saying we should "ask" anybody for anything. Instead,
I said anybody in this country has a say in government policy, including
policy concerning Amateur Radio.


Len is obviously interested in Amateur Radio, which
is good.

(snip) Do you consider his attitude and behavior towards
those who disagree with him to be "good"?


Something else I don't remember saying. However, since you seem to want to
discuss Len's attitude and behavior, what exactly are you referring to?
After reading some of the garbage posted by some in this newsgroup, I don't
see anything from him that stands out as particularily extraordinary. Of
course, perhaps you're more sensitive to what he says because it is often
targeted towards those who share your opinions.
