He is FASCINATED by her, almost to an obsession.

That could derive from his imagination and not being able to get a real
date himself (imaginary foreign "girlfriends" aren't real).

One more plus for monotonic on-off tone patterns listened to for too long.
No way to deduce clues as to the other morseperson's gender, age, or
much of anything else except to produce on-off monotonic tone
patterns called (colloquially) "CW."

Of course, Larrah could be out this Saturday getting fitted for a bra...

I think about everyone in this newsgroup, particularly the "regulars" who
have been here for a number of years. The truth is, in spite of our
numerous and passionate disagreements, I don't think there's anyone
here that I wouldn't like to know in person -- including Kim, and you!
I think of time spent here as time spent with friends, and I can't help
but to wonder if everyone else sees it the same way. Tonight, as in
many nights in the past, I found myself composing, then quickly
deleting, several posts aimed at certain people which contained my
usually acerbic tone. In other words, I'm starting to wonder just
exactly what I, and we, are all doing here, and what it all means. I
can't honestly say that I'm ever going to change my mind about
anything here, but I also have come to realize that in all likelihood,
nobody else will, either. However, the way in which we disagree is
something upon which we all should reflect, and I don't exclude myself
from that.

Things are happening in my life that are causing me to consider the
more eternal ramifications of everything I do. I know that I am not
perfect, and that I, like most other people, am able to fall into the
pattern of allowing my lesser nature to come to the surface. And
while I cannot make a credible promise to not allow that to happen
anymore, I can at least occasionally take the time to stop and
reflect upon it, and take stock of my own behaviour.

I would like to think that if it were ever possible for all of us to meet

And, as we continue to batter each other's opinions, I think it is
necessary to realize that we are not necessarily battering each
other personally. Whether or not the nature of Usenet tends to
make our reactions to each other impersonal by nature, it does
bear keeping in mind that there is another human being at the
other end of our rhetoric. I know that I want to be treated as such,
and I will try to keep that in mind when reacting to the rest of you.

Just some food for thought…any and all comments welcome.

Dammit, Larry, now you've done it!

First, I have always wanted to meet Dick Carroll, just to see if his
head was misshapened or if he suffered from Napoleans affliction, if
he has that MO twang, or if he like guns as much as I do so we could
quit sparring over the code.

I'd like to mess around in Dave Heil's shack an see what he's done
with those low band loops, or if he prominently displays my KH2 QSL
card on his wall, next to Martii's. I imagine my thought of him being
smug would disappear - it may be an artifact of me reading his posts
on the web.

Len, well, what can I say. He's been my mentor for years. Never
afraid to jump in with both feet, but more caustic than Drano. Few
have dared to go there - but you're one of them.

Kim, beer and BBQ?

There are many more, but I'll stop now.

Maybe we need to gather at Dayton 2005.

Yaknow, people can be pro-code and no-code and have spirited arguments
without accusing each other against crimes against humanity! Or illegal
drug abuse.

- Mike KB3EIA -

Clint:

Well, I'm sure that in some ways that have nothing to do with amateur
radio, Kim is a very nice person. So, if you ever do meet her, try to
keep
that in mind, and not the fact that Riley Hollingsworth once said that her
choice of a call sign had the potential to take the ARS "...one step
closer to extinction."

73 de Larry, K3LT


is that a true story? or did he say callsigns LIKE hers (without nameing
hers specifically) were potentially harmful? Just curious... talk about
being (in)famous.

When I first saw the callsign, I must admit I thought nothing about it
until I found out that the person who owened it was a woman. Seriously;
call it male chauvanism, or bias, whatever, but I literally only say
"kilo 5 tango india tango" when I saw it... but when I learned of the
gender of the owner, something clicked in me mentally and caused
me to re-assess the callsign.

The only thing that it DOES bring to mind, now, is the constant question
of whether or not she chose it because she's female and nothing more,
OR, if it is because she is female "and THEN some", if you get my drift.
I have never had the nerve to ask her a beavis and butthead question,
no matter how much it has in fact been going through my very
barbaric, primitive, neanderthal mind.

Where's my club?

for a new Usenet feed.

from that.

To quote the title of a book you probably don't like very much, Larry,
"Now You're Talking!"

I was guilty of as much of that as you or anyone else in here,
especially back in the 1990s when I first discovered Usenet. I'm sure
some people here have looked up the current call, noticed the
"formerly" call, and made the connection. I'm sure they've also
noticed that I've managed to keep my propensity for ripping people new
excretory orifices in check - except when certain ham-wannabe outlaws
from CB and the Freeband frequencies come crawling in here on their
hands and knees and beg for it, in which case I'm more than happy to
oblige, and still plenty capable, too.

Things are happening in my life that are causing me to consider the
more eternal ramifications of everything I do. I know that I am not
perfect, and that I, like most other people, am able to fall into the
pattern of allowing my lesser nature to come to the surface. And
while I cannot make a credible promise to not allow that to happen
anymore, I can at least occasionally take the time to stop and
reflect upon it, and take stock of my own behaviour.

Likewise, OM.

Glad to hear it, too. You have a good head on your shoulders. It'll be
interesting to see what happens when you put it to better use. Like
maybe, how we're gonna get everybody on the same page to come up with
some sort of test of practical knowledge if FCC dumps Element 1.

I would like to think that if it were ever possible for all of us to meet
in person, that that meeting would be both pleasant and enjoyable.

If it was just the hams who are regulars, yeah, no doubt. If all the
trolls showed up too? You gotta be kidding me. We'd need the National
Guard there to prevent a riot.

And, as we continue to batter each other's opinions, I think it is
necessary to realize that we are not necessarily battering each
other personally. Whether or not the nature of Usenet tends to

and I will try to keep that in mind when reacting to the rest of you.

Just some food for thought…any and all comments welcome.

Speaking of food, don't forget to look me up when you get back up here
to WNY. I'm on and off of Usenet because I access it through public
servers, but even if I disappear from here I still want to get
together with you and Pete for some chow and chatter.

Oh good heavens, no! Pasta, or steak, and a glass of fine wine or a frozen
margarita. Beer and BBQ is a Texan thing and, while I'll drink an ICE COLD
beer on a hot day outside--you won't find me outside much in the Summertime
around here. BBQ? It's OK. But I prefer no flavorings on my meat.

Anyone interested in an rrap get-together during Dayton '04? I don't get

Mike:

Considering the infamous vagaries in the WX at Dayton that time of
year, I think an indoor venue would be best. A restaurant with a good-
sized banquet room would probably be best, since then everyone
could eat and drink whatever they wanted. Is anyone familiar enough
with the facilities available in the Dayton area to make any suggestions?

73 de Larry, K3LT

I would love to, but as long as I am with my current employer, Dayton is
pretty much out for me, as explained in a different posting to Larry here.

Nothing like good ole grill cookin' !

Funny how that works, Steve! Are you going to try to make it to Dayton?

Here we have a bunch of people with different opinions that in spite of
those opinions look at getting together for a enjoyable weekend that
sounds like a blast. And in the middle of this, somone decides to whizz
