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.

No problem, Dwight. I figured there might have been some external stuff
going on. Pain and lack of sleep can get the best of antone. Hope you're
feeling better. Good luck in whatever you do.

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'll be glad to help.

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

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

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.

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

You mean how much lower than a rear area radio clerk, perhaps...?!?!

Yeh, go easy on me. I've got more military experience in my little
finger than Kelly's ever going to have. And we probably would have
had far fewer missing pallets if I had been a box kicker.

How far down the "service" chain is THAT?!

Everyone played their role except you. Even the box kickers outranked
you. Best you can do is sing "Rubber Band Man" and "In The Navy" on
Karoake Night.

But life demands that everybody

Try meteorology.

in ham radio or in any other field that I know about.

What I don't do is run on at the mouth about military experience that
I don't have. Sound familiar?

Hi, hi!

You got Seven Hostile Actions, too?

Like the time you tried to get me to put up an antenna at your house?
Or are you so senile that you thought I lived there?
