Misquote, Len. Jim wrote "reporting". In that he is correct. Since so
many (most?) people have a cell phone, it stands to reason that the
initial report is more likely to be made by a person using a cell phone.


Here's a "plain simple fact:" I replied to J.P.Miccolis' message
and quoted his EXACT WORDS.


Do you mean when Jim posted:

Jim What *has* happened is that cell phones do much if not most of the
911-type
Jim reporting that we hams used to do.

and you wrote:

Ain't no "misquote."

Where exactly did Jim say that Hams used to do the 911 communications?



Now you go read my reply and, if you have arguments, you can
go off and argue with the U.S. Census Bureau, NASA, the FCC,
and, for emotional finger-pointing, the families of the astronauts
killed in the shuttle burn-up. Whoever.

I read your reply. I don't understand why you think that I should
bother all those people when Jim wrote:

Jim 911-type reporting that we hams used to do.

Just don't give us this bullsnit about "misquoting."

Is it bullsnit when Jim wrote:



I don't think so. That's a fantasy brag far above the membership
agitprop of the ARRL.

A brag that was never written.


'Cept it was a misquote.


Except it was NOT a "misquote."


It would appear to me, that it is very much a misquote.

Here however is an exact quote that is quite applicable:

I just send them. If you no like them, hit the ENTER key and go
to the next message.

If you don't like my messages, I suggest you do the same.
