Heck your
fishing expeditions wouldn't be half as much fun without him here.

"Fishing expeditions?" I don't fish.

PCTA bait their hooks and offer me their lines. No problem at all
to reel them in. Easy thing.

You seem to have some confusion on the concept of fishing. Let's
see...."they" bait their hooks and offer you a line. Now then, *you*
have a reel? It doesn't sound like an easy thing at all.

Dave, if you're a big enough fish, the fisherman becomes the quary.

Brian, he just handed you the line... :-)

Let him go, he's undersized.

Hi hi.

The only way I catch a glimpse of lenover21 is when someone such as yourself
responds to him. I have him filtered out as I don't care to read his
rambling, disjointed, and multitudinous posts. Usually when I see that a
post is a reply to one of his, I'll skip over it. Not always though such
as this one.

Tsk. If it isn't within 50 PPM tolerance of ARRL political speak,
differing opinions are "rambling, distored, and multitudinous?" :-)

Amateur radio must be Just So for Dee or she cannot tolerate words
of independence. [she hefts her mama spanking paddle...]

Too bad about fear of being downsized or outsourced if the amateur
job isn't done Just So? :-)

Tsk.

Actually irrelevant. Mama Dee doesn't have long enough arms to
wield her spanking paddle again "children" far away. Tsk.

She makes Pronouncements...sounding like ARRL-southwest.

Proper etty-kett at all times, using "official" How To Act notices.

Job fear can drive many over the edge. If one doesn't behave like
'real' hams are 'supposed' to be, they will be fired, downsized, or
outsourced.

There is a difference between civil anonymity and non-civil anonymity.
To not get that is to not get it.

Incorrect.

If there is no disagreement, then anonymity is just peachy.

But it is their anonymity that is -attacked- when there is a
disagreement, i.e., Steve calls them cowardly scum for hiding behind a
mask.

But I am not Steve!

What a broad paintbrush we paint with.

- Mike KB3EIA -


You tolerate it, even condone it.

What a broad zone of tolerance you have for the PCTA, and how narrow it
gets...

I tolerate Leo too.

Tolerance isn't in fashion much these days. Too bad.

Why do you state the obvious?

PCTA don't allow a single bit of tolerance for those who do not love,
honor, and cherish the beloved morse code.

A few might blow air-kisses at NCTA in an attempt to demonstrate
their "tolerance," but that is just lip-service.

ARS = Archaic Radiotelegraphy Society to the PCTA.

It's just a matter of trying to determine which face you're presenting
with any given topic.

What you see is what you get, Steve. Just to clear up any confusion on
your part, here are my thoughts on the predominate topics regularly
discussed here on rrap.

1 -- I think that Morse (CW) is a fun operating mode, sort of like
restoring old-time automobiles.
2 -- I do not think that Morse testing ought to be required to obtain an
amateur radio license of any class.
3 -- I think that you, Len, and Brian are a modern-day reincarnation of
the Three Stooges. You guys ought to petition NBC or CBS to revive that
show on TV.

Two out of three ain't bad... :-)



Wonder if he's drunk? And abrasive as all sailors can be.

Reencacting Cinderella Liberty.

It might be the funny little hat and bell-bottoms they have to wear.

Also the regulation uniform...


That's why they got their name stenciled over their back pocket. So
you can tell one dumbass from the next.

Now, now...we have to be "civil" to the uniform wearers, those
resplendant in PCTA Class-As.


Then you've got multiple-personality Steve asking what face someone is
presenting!!!

Hi, hi!

Such comedy, such slapstick!

Old-school vaudeville...the sticks molded out of old Handbooks.

Curtain call happened long ago but they hang around hoping for
an audience.

Let me know when one of these guys goes over Niagara in a barrel.

Offhand, I'd say they all had done it. That's why they are as they
are. Trauma from all the tumbling going over them falls.

I have a similar system. Some authors are totally blocked, others I
read completely. Saves time and makes rrap a much better experience.


That works very well for ostriches.

Depends if there is any content of worth.

Sometimes the obvious needs stated. You clearly know that.

It's quite obvious there is little (nearly zero) tolerance of NCTAs by
the PCTA. In here.

You knew that...but, lacking a good comeback, you mumble into
your keyboard a lot of null sentence content. :-)

PCTA don't allow a single bit of tolerance for those who do not love,
honor, and cherish the beloved morse code.

Uh huh.

Well, that's how it is with the ARS [Archaic Radiotelegraphy Society]

If the code test goes, the PCTA extras lose their main bragging
right statement. Tsk.

A few might blow air-kisses at NCTA in an attempt to demonstrate
their "tolerance," but that is just lip-service.

How do you *know* that?

Observation. With open eyes. :-)

Take in all, don't bury head in sand to avoid hearing independent thoughts.

Let the ARRL by your radio hobby "Miss Manners" and Tell You What
You Should Do, implant all the "correct" thoughts you should think.
They've done that for many years. Lots of hams follow their lead to the
letter. [in psywar circles that is termed "brainwashing"]

Always reject "improper" thoughts expressed by anyone else. League
would like that. Follow them like lemmings.

Not me. Been in real communications radio on HF and am open to
all ideas, not those that were "official" back before I was born.

Independent thinking is not for the faint of heart...or those who feel
they get their "chops busted" when someone rejects their "official"
opinions.
