My mistake, Mike - for a minute there, I thought that you might be trying to start something up, then step back and watch the fun..... Good to hear that you ain't that type! :-) We're *all* that type here Leo! Actually, my point was that if we're going to bust Jim's chops about what appeared to be an error on his part, *we* should be able to back up that chop busting with some good hard data. I could work the problem out eventually, but I'm a dilettante at best in such matters. Dear dilly Mike, What's your beef about "busting chops?" You opening a meat market? [specializing in ham stakes for ham burghers?] Hello? Newsflash: Rev. Jim MADE AN ERROR IN MATH. Nothing major. He no work for NASA, not IN space. Not life critical. Was simple matter to reach up for Almanac, go to page with basic planetary data, find minimum and maximum distances Earth to Mars, then use calculator to divide that by approximate speed of light. NOT a tuff thing at all. Simple. He got corrected. Correction corroborated. Where's the beef? [do you know the basic cuts for chops?] Is this some kind of IMAGE thing with you PCTA? You all have to be "right" even when you are wrong?!?!? You want Flame War over trivia? Go fight with Alex Trebek on Jeopardy and against Ken Jennings. Or work hard on your morsemanship, be a "real" ham! Recreate the past, do it again, and again, and again until you get it right! Pbthbthbthbth... LHA / WMD |

[specializing in ham stakes for ham burghers?] Don't want busted chops in my meat market! Hello? Newsflash: Rev. Jim MADE AN ERROR IN MATH. Nothing major. He no work for NASA, not IN space. Not life critical. Tell Leo about it. He seems to think it's worth pursuing even after Jim corrected himself. Was simple matter to reach up for Almanac, go to page with basic planetary data, find minimum and maximum distances Earth to Mars, then use calculator to divide that by approximate speed of light. NOT a tuff thing at all. Simple. He got corrected. Correction corroborated. Where's the beef? Check with Leo. And poor old Clara Peller is no longer with us. [do you know the basic cuts for chops?] No, I can carve a good turkey tho'. Is this some kind of IMAGE thing with you PCTA? You all have to be "right" even when you are wrong?!?!? You want Flame War over trivia? Go fight with Alex Trebek on Jeopardy and against Ken Jennings. Wouldn't that be cool if he posted in here? Thanks for the invitation anyway. Or work hard on your morsemanship, be a "real" ham! I am a real ham, despite my lack of morseosity. Recreate the past, do it again, and again, and again until you get it right! Pbthbthbthbth...

Give us some examples, Leo. No examples yet. Which is unlikely - he's made too many enemies with his "You're just wrong. I'm always right" attitude in the group for that to be an option. The only enemies I know of here are people who have a problem with my differences of opinion, or with being corrected when they make a mistake. Would you rather I let the mistakes I notice go uncorrected? I missed that in my previous answer to Leo. What enemies? Lenover21 (and presumably AveryFineman) aren't too fond of Jim it would seem, And Brian would appear to be in that group. I'm assuming that Leo puts himself on that list too. So out of the group, we have three people that are Jim's "enemies" - four if you count one of Lenover21's other personalities. Also consider "nocwtest", "averyfine", and "lenof21", all of which have been used by Len here. "Lenof21" is still his, and I think the other two are as well. So that makes seven - five of whom are the same person...;-) The rest of us like Jim just fine, thankyouverymuch! I appreciate that, Mike. It is interesting to see the reaction when the tables are turned. Yes, it is. See below. You know that if he had have popped in and said "you're right, guys, I screwed up", this thread would have died out. My original post began "if my math is correct". One of the calculations was quite close (188 seconds) but the other was way off. So I corrected it. Apparently, and quite unfortunately, that isn't possible for him to do - so he avoids the issue, and hopes it goes away. Did you miss my correction post? He replied to it!!! I missed that one. Like the old saying goes, "if you can't take it, don't dish it out" ! Dish what out? He's reading this thread, though - he knows it's here. I read most threads here. But not all posts. Just don't have the time. I try to be assertive but not aggressive. That apparently infuriates some people. Particularly when they cannot refute or disprove my facts. Or when I refuse to back down from my opinions. When the time is right, he'll jump in and try to take control of it - just watch! How can anyone "take control" of a thread? I'm not the most frequent or verbose poster here by a long shot. I simply post facts and opinions. And the occasional mistake. Which I have corrected. So what's the problem? He don't like ya. When you don't like a person, you hold them to an impossibly high standard. Well, maybe *he* does, but I don't. Funny, in a group where I have been accused of supporting all things I do not comment on, and not condemning "that which should be condemned so I'll drag this out. Me too. As if what others post is somehow my responsibility. Lenover21 made a mistake a week or so ago in which he said the first voice transmissions occurred in 1906. That was incorrect. No big deal, it was corrected I didn't notice Leo making "you can hear a pin drop" posts about that mistake. About that "tables are turned" thing - it's interesting to note Len's reaction to being corrected on that historic fact. Or when he wrote that he had *never* posted here as "averyfine" - and I Googled up some posts by him using that screen name... Meanwhile, he's out there today regaling us with his wisdom on the subject of license fees, and other matters. Are any of the facts I have written about license fees incorrect? Are my opinions on license fees somehow unacceptable because of a calculation mistake? Would you approve of me more if I behaved like Len, "William", or Steve, rather than myself? I suspect that he would approve of you if you had the same opinions as Brian or Lenover21. At that point you could act however you wanted to. I suspect you are right. Would you rather I just shut up? twould appear! ;^) The only person I have *ever* seen tell someone else to shut up here on rrap was Len, in his classic "feldwebel" post to K8MN. And reading....... And posting. and bears....Oh My! hehe No, the guy who photographed the Bear bombers from the deck of a US aircraft carrier is W3RV. 73 de Jim, N2EY |

Not so. Use of special spacing establishes profundity. Could it be that is the reason you so often use it in your own postings? Dave K8MN |
