I didn't make a point of "announcing" my departure, Steve. It was simply
mentioned in the messages about the auctions to explain the reason for the
sale of those items. When people see a lot of similar items being sold by an
individual, why is often the first question asked.

People often want to know why a piece of equipment is being sold,
i.e., why don't you want it anymore?

So you gave a reason. But Nooooooo! There has to be an _underlying_
reason!!!

Hi, hi, hi.

(eg: people who swallow a "handful" of
"pills" then call 9-1-1 to announce what
they have done...)

A complete, raving lunatic!

Well, since I swallowed "all" the "pills" (all my ham equipment is gone),
it's a little late to call 911 or anyone else. :-)

And, with that, I have really got to go. Take care.

Stewart, if you don't feed the troll it might die of starvation.

If this was "the service" you wouldn't anywhere in sight.

Funny coming from a guy who was never in the service, but somehow
accumulated some "military experience" to brag about.

Were you in any of Steve's, "7 hostile actions?"

Hi, hi!

Fortunately
for ham radio this not "the service".

Fortunately for ham radio, we have actuarial tables.

Putz.

Sorry about that, Mike. It was a clear over-reaction to your three (3)
messages in this newsgroup about me spamming the newsgroups, mixed with a
throbing toothache and not enough sleep the night before because of it. My
decision to leave Amateur radio is based solely on personal reasons,
including a lack of interest at the moment, other distractions in my life,
and so on. As I said elsewhere, it has been fun, but it's time for me to
move on. Take care.

Stewart


Well there you have it. The number one reason for leaving amateur
radio is probably death (SK for the pnone impaired). Or maybe it's a
lack of interest.

No nefarious conspiracy theories necessary.

I wonder what the other reasons for people leaving the ARS might be?

Why, are you looking for a way out too?

I know the way. Too bad there are so many hangers on that only the
actuarial tables can deal with them.

I'll be glad to help.

Tell me about your real military experience again, oh serviceless one.

Dunno about that...we've kept you on a diet lately and you are just
getting fatter.

And ESPECIALLY fortunate for the rest of Amateur Radio, you too are an

Hi,hi!

Before you start "laughing", Brain, at least Brian has acknowledged that
which he has and hasn't done. You continue to misrepresent yourself.

And there is no law, rule or regulation that REQUIRES his having been in
the service. Not since 1974.

Kellie shot bears for naval intelligence... :-)

Hi, hi!

At least 26 of them... :-)

Putz.

Wonderful how the "Amateur's Code" works out with these PCTAs.
Anyone not thinking like they do gets the cutsey other-language
swear words. :-)

Maybe Kellie has an "underlying reason" too? :-)

Or...he's just "lying under it?"

Jesus H. Christ on a shiskabob stick, Steve!?!? --- he's sold his
equipment and left the building. Who cares what his reason is?

No one, Hans.

I was just hoping I could irritate the be-jeebers out of you and elicit
one of your always memorable retorts.

It worked.

Anything else to add...?!?!

Aw go easy on him, he's just in his "grasp at any straw mode" again
Steve. He was a USAF shipping/receiveing clerk for cripes sake. How
far down the "service" chain is THAT?! But life demands that everybody
needs at least one brag point in life and his "clerical service" is as
close as he's gotten to having one. He sure as hell doesn't have any
in ham radio or in any other field that I know about. So ya handle his
predictable yelping from obscurity, which is typical of his types,
with common good humor. A pat on the head, "Good boy, good BOY
Putzlet!" "Now go fetch that box of file folders I need". The usual.

Yawn
