All that's needed is for

Why are you so focussed on all MUST have a ham license to
discuss anything in here?

Where did I say that?

Jim, that is a pervasive theme in RRAP, the "requirement" of having an
amateur radio license to discuss things -radio- related.

Where, when and how did *I* say that "all MUST have a ham license to discuss
anything in here?"

If it seems to some to be a "pervasive theme", that's due to the fact that Len
writes it over and over....

As I've said many times before, *anyone* with internet/usenet access can post
here. Credibility is a different issue - it has to be earned.

One of your continuing problems is that of telling the difference
between what you think has been written and what has actually been
written.

"William" does seem to have that problem.

Firstly, this isn't a "radio-related" newsgroup. It is an "amateur
radio-related" newsgroup.

True.

Len discusses and discusses.

Very true!


Mostly, his
windbag routine consists of insulting radio amateurs and the ARRL.

One caveat: That behavior is reserved for those who disagree with him, or point
out errors in his statements.

There's a one-paragraph profile of Len's behavior floating around...

Sometimes he includes personal historical data having nothing to do with
amateur radio. Very little of what he posts has a thing to do with any
current or past amateur radio policy matter.

True and true again.

If you missed it, then you must must be necrotic.

If you support it,
then you do so by your silence, as you do so many other topics on
RRAP.

Not true! Faulty logic.

Schindler.

What significance does that name have to amateur radio policy?

Do you seek to flatter me by comparing me to one of the most heroic figures in
human history?

I note your silence on gay marriage. By your silence, you must support
it. You've been awfully silent on the matter of Scott Pederson. It
could be said that you must support him.

So you're either for it or agin it.

It's not a binary issue.

Support Kelly, Heil, and Robeson?

On some things, yes. On others, no. Independent thought on my part.

...or he couldn't care less.

Time to get off of the fence.

Is that an order? Or a demand?

I'd strongly suggest that you do so--especially if you're sitting on top
of one of the posts.

By his own logic, "William" must support Len's behavior here.
