You have a very strange comment and have driven way out of the
limits of definitions of the word "relationship."

Without them, you have less people to join in your posting tirades. I
doubt I'm much fun to post to, certainly nowhere near as much fun as
your battles with Steve.

What "battle?" Do you perceive "battles?" Tsk.

Do you? You brought up the things safely archived in Google. Allow me
to refresh your memory with the following Len Anderson quotes:

from 1997

"You yield no actual sympathy. What you have just demonstrated is a
need to fight, to battle someone who has opinions opposite to yours.
The subject matters little and is only an excuse to fight."

"Am I avoiding your challenge? Yessir. What you CHALLENGED (in the
heat of message battle) is tantamount to DEMANDING an answer that
will take a couple of man-weeks of effort to generate."

"Whether or not to eliminate the U.S. code test
is a battle between objectivism and subjectivsm.[sic]"

"If Deignan wishes to argue for argument's sake, to do "battle" on the
Internet, he can find many other newsgroups to vent personal hatreds..."

"If the original communicator is passionate in opinion, the opponent is
replied to in-kind and the battle is joined...a flame war is created and
others join in."

from 1998

"CECIL! Shame on you for introducing technical competence in
this religious battle!"

from 1999

"For the purposes of his newsgroup 'battle,' Robeson will not
acknowledge conditions today outside of the 'official' ARRL
publication area."

"It is
readily apparent that the SUBJECT is no longer under discussion,
only another ego wounded in imaginary battle."



from 2000

"Is there to be some wordy 'battle to the death' in the newsgroup
on history?"

"That quickly
turned into a Personality Battle between the Haves (noble,
proud, tenured, morseodist esperts in radio) and the Have-
Nots (evil, slime, CBers who don't know Code)."

"Jeffie, all you've got going here in this new misdirection is just
a personal battle involving a very small part of telegraphy
history...landline telegraphy at that."

from 2001

"Robeson has nothing else in his
discussion-debate-argument arsenal except insults and
exaggerations so each and every 'reply' of his consists of little
more than an obsessive 'battle' comment on personalities."

"From there on, Miccolis wanted a Battle To The Death in a
newsgroup. :-)"

"Kelly cannot understand that,
wants to put words in my messages that weren't there, and
prefers a 'personal battle' (mild, sustained flame war) over
morse code ability."

"This whole thread has disintegrated into a personal battle of
wills over messaging and message contents."

"Well, that may be 'defaming' to barbarian mindsets that
can only 'battle to the death' in insult messages."

from 2002

"Trolling for a word fight on my document submitted to the FCC
and in their database as of 13 January 1999 is frivolous and
immaterial. It indicates only that Miccolis wants to 'do battle'
in words to satisfy his suddenly-prissy attitude over the
double standards employed by PCTAs."

"Lissen up, Masters of Radio! The battle is joined...off your cots and
grab your KEYS! Show them who is BOSS in amateurism!"


from 2003

"You insist on making this some kind of personal 'battle' over some
imagined 'superiority' in amateurism and the 'elitism' as well as
'superiority' of your status, rank, title, etc. in nothing but amateur
radio."

"Lissen up, Masters of Radio! The battle is joined...off your cots and
grab your KEYS! Show them who is BOSS in amateurism!"

from 2004

"Maybe he took the beeper's battle flag motto literally? ("Learn code
or
die!")"

"They keep falling on the field of battle, the ground littered with
pieces
of ham-band-aid wrappings."

"Their need to
triumph over others through that archaic skill (since 1844) is so strong
that they forgo any societal niceties and engage in a battle of words
to the death about it! Dumb. Waste of effort."

"RED ALERT! ALL HANDS TO BATTLE STATIONS!"

"Perhaps you and the other personal-battle "fighters" should
comment on Access BPL to the FCC instead of playing verbal
paintball in a newsgroup?"

"That's what it boils down to...a battle of newsgroup wills."

"Destroying the code test requirement is a never-ending battle."

"This has gotten off the subject of phonetic alphabets. Most threads
do that, given enough Flame Warriors chomping on their bits ready
to do message battle to the death, unable to skip a single message."

It surely looks as if you have some familiarity with the term "battle".


But, you've never been in the military, don't know what "live fire" is
about (from weaponry, that is).

Wuz there a lot of that in Japan during your time there, Leonard?

You get what you want out of those battles, all three of you.

Unless you take all of this seriously. Tell me you *don't* take any of
this seriously. Do you think that you will change Steve's, or Jim's, or
Dave's or even my own mind?

I don't take these things seriously. :-)

It's fun to poke holes in some of the cherished, beloved mythology
found so abundant in olde-tyme hamme lore.

As someone who isn't involved in amateur radio, I'm sure you know a
great deal of the lore of amateur radio.

Most of that lore is passed from generation to generation, preserved
and cherished even though much of it is false...or appears false
because alternatives aren't presented for modern-day radio.

Groups of old timers often sit around the campfire on crisp Autumn
nights
instructing the newcomers in the old ways. There is much derision of
those who simply can't make the grade. Your name comes up.

I don't have a "relationship" with olde-tyme hamme raddio...or its
lifestyling fans.

That's right! You don't have a "relationship" to amateur radio past,
present or future. You're the Ebenezer Scrooge of ham radio.

I'm just showing what a ridiculous thing the
morse code test is for a civilian hobby...

What kinds of non-civilian hobbies are there, Leonard? How would you
know about this morse testing "thing"? Is anything you cannot do
"ridiculous"?

to a bunch of twits who
still think ARS stands for Archaic Radiotelegraphy Society.

I don't know anyone but you who thinks that the Amateur Radio Service
stands for "Archaic Radiotelegraphy Society".

If you still believe the morse code test is a valid requirement for
a civilian hobby of amateur radio, then YOU are the "dysfunctional"
one, not I.

Sure, Len. It appears that your are the one on the outside, looking in.

Have fun peeing in your own pool, Coslo. I don't swim there.

Not in the amateur radio pool, you don't. I think Mike means the
r.r.a.p. pool. Here, where you swim, you're one tired, old, incontinent
piranha.
