Is usenet working?

Obviously not. Did you use the proper ARRL-approved procedure
and correct prosigns?

Do you do that?

Oh Heaven Forbid!

The above message appeared on Coronation Day (20 Jan 05)
download of this newsgroup from AOL.

If this was inauguration day for John Kerry, would it have been
Coronation Day?

Of course not!

Personally, I wish we could have had it rebroadcast all over the
world.

I thought it was - satellites and all that.

That "We, The People" business was done all over again, and once
again we decided the leadership of the most powerful nation on Earth
without firing a single shot!

Which is one of the true strengths of the USA.

All the "shots' fired were of the verbal kind...the people were
allowed to decide for themsleves, and their opinions solicited in the
form of a ballot.

Yep. While the election process isn't perfect, and can be greatly improved,
it's better than most of the alternatives.

Many didn't get what they hoped for, but they will move on to the
NEXT election.

Yep. And that's a good thing.

Had there been observation of the Newsgroup NEWS on AOL

Why should I do that?

you would have seen the announcement (by AOL) that they
had "technical difficulties" in interfacing to INTERNET
newsgroups.

AOL is run by "professionals", right?

On that same AOL NEWS section there is NO
indication that AOL will be dropping newsgroup connections
to the INTERNET in "early 2005."

Who said there was?

Suggestion: Connect to DARPANET directly and use morse
code mode communications. After all, "CW gets through
when nothing else will, right?"

Who said that? Not me.

Tell us again what "usenet" stands for, Leonard.

And tell us about operating with an expired license again
too...That was too funny!

Here it is again:

Lenof21: "All licensees are perfectly legal to continue operating in their
grace period."

Simply not true, if the licensee hasn't applied for renewal before the
expiration date.

It's good to see a post where you don't call Len a putz, Steve.

Roughly translated from rapanui, it means: "The rocks said 'OK, Fine'"

Fine'"

Thank you!

Mine roughly translates to: "When worn out at the front and worn out at
the back, make a new one". It was the 'aku-aku' ('guardian spirit',
roughly) of a book that had been recopied many times on Easter Island,
passed down through many generations.

Imagine the ingenuity of the book's unknown ancient author, to put in
that saying so the information would survive.
