Yoiks! Brian. We're not going to be defining "is" now are we? 8^)

It turns out it is necessary to define "is" as it does NOT always mean
"equal to". As noted in the post I just sent, one can say "Marigolds are
flowers", which is a true statement but you cannot turn it around and say
"Flowers are marigolds" as this latter isn't always true.

MARS is NOT amateur radio.

If MARS were amateur radio, it would have rules defining and
regulating it in Title 47 C.F.R. It does not.

If MARS were amateur radio, the Department of Defense would
not have released Directive 4650.2. They did, so that defines
MARS as a military radio service.

However, it meant EQUAL TO in Steve's use of the word.

Welp, if we were to use a subject a little closer to the task at hand, and say,

"MARS Ops ARE Amateur Ops" it would be false, and if we were to say,

"Amateur Ops ARE MARS Ops" it would again be false.

Careful, Brian, Dee might send you a bouquet of marigolds.

Nursie can't reply with bouquets, only brickbats. :-)

[well, he IS bats and the thinking is on the order of brickwork...]
