Actually, Leo would prefer that you and Jim end the mutual admiration
and compliment exchange phase of the project, and go do it!

Heh heh heh. Leo, my thoughts exactly on this "project."

There's a LOT of "need" of hearty congratulations on a job well
done BEFORE a project is even STARTED! :-)

And of course, let's not overlook the seminal "Six Phases Of A
Project" (which one of the guys in Network Engineering has posted
prominently in his cubicle 8*p ).

The Six Phases Of A Project

1. Enthusiasm

2. Disillusionment

3. Panic

4. Search For The Guilty

5. Punishment Of The Innocent

6. Praise And Accolades For The Non-Participants

Judging by this benchmark, this project is clearly in Phase One! :*0

Actaully, Leo, I think you hit upon the very summation of Lennie the
Loser's Amateur Radio career:

The Six Phases Of A Project

Subtitled: "Lennie's Career in 'Professional' and Amateur Radio"

1. Enthusiasm

Lennie dove into his "army career" as a radio mechanic. It was
simple...The Army taught him how to read the maintenance manual and he followed
the instructions. Considering the era in which he got involved, there was
still a "whole wide world" out there for him to investigate. No doubt a senior
NCO buttered Lennie in preparation for getting his "X" on re-enlistment papers,
so I am sure he (Lennie) was sure of his invincibility as a radio mechanic.

2. Disillusionment

Faced with the "real world" obligations (education, training, OJT, etc),
it must have appeared daunting to Lennie to even get past the Maytag repairman.
While Lennie was no doubt "smart enough" to do it, Lennie's been a short-cut
kinda person all his life. Unfortunately all those short cuts, laid end to
end, made the trip a lot longer than he envisoned.

3. Panic

Realizing that he'd never be able to stack-up next to REAL engineers,
Lennie latched himself onto the coattails of men and woman who DID have "The
Right Stuff" in engineering, and hoped-to-high-heavens thet no one caught on to
his game. Looking for yet another shortcut to vindication Lennie saddles up to
an Amateur Radio publisher in hopes of getting his name in print.

4. Search For The Guilty

There's always been "someone" who was responsible for Lennie's inability
to gain the respectability and recognition for his wonderfulness. "WAIT!
Those !@#$% ham radio operators! THEY did it! They kept me from the fame and
fortune I so richly deserve!" This due, no doubt, to the UNDERwhelming arrival
of fan mail from his several published bylines in the aforementioned Amateur
Radio journal...a journal that went belly-up while Lennie was an "Associate
Editor".

5. Punishment Of The Innocent

Lennie's on-going berating in RRAP says it all. "We" did it to him, and
now, By God, he's gonna make sure we "pay for it". Everyone except Lennie is
responsible for Lennie's failures in Amateur Radio. The "Mighty Morsemen",
"The ARRL", "the Elitists", the "jackbooted thugs", etc etc etc. Forget that
Lennie might actually be well received at the local Amateur Radio club with his
"professional background"...taking the same tests that "mere mortal" citizens
take might further wound his already overinflated ego.

6. Praise And Accolades For The Non-Participants

If there ever was a "non-participant" in Amateur Radio, it's The Loser of
Lanark. Of course, however, it's "professional engineers' such as himself that
knows "all about" the "real radio world", and no one save he and his
colleagues knows anything about radio other than Part 97.

Uh huh.

Now then, does anyone have any further questions on the subject of

Well, hijack in the sense of taking control of something (in this
case, this post) and steering it to somewhere other than the
originator intended......

Appreciate the kind thoughts, though - and a Happy Thanksgiving to you
too!

One can always tell when an official holiday is over in here by
the usual return to him playing tunes on his acrimonium... :-)

[an "acrimonium" is a wind instrument of large, insubstantial
proportions, always blowing off-key...]

Big S. has only left out charges of being an axe-murderer or serial
rapist. If I luck out he will holler those things the day after
December 25. Stay tuned. :-)
