Yes it does! ;-) All it points out is that you are using this newsgroup as a general chat room to talk about ANY subject instead of focussing on amateur radio policy. I think you don't like the fact that it does relate. In the end, Who cares? Len obviously cares a lot. It is our newsgroup, and if you and I want to talk about politics or an obscure Kert Vonnegut story, or if Bria wants to talk about the boy scouts, or if Len wants to talk about sphinctors, then "it's all good, man". I don't know if "it's all good", but that doesn't really matter. This is an unmoderated newsgroup, and while Len may want to be the moderator, he just isn't. I like the little side trips. It allows us to get to know each other better. I couldn't follow who posted what above, but I think whoever said "It allows us to get to know each other better" may need just a little bit of a reality check. This is an "online" venue, and I don't believe that this allows for getting to "know" anyone. OK, maybe slightly...and then only in a few cases. Astute observation, Kim! :-) The "getting to know each other better" phrase is part of the 'standard boilerplate' of PC phrasing done to make the writer appear like they know much more than they do, yet tolerate all others in some curious fashion of the nobility. [i.e., they are "better" because they tolerate the "inferiors" :-) ] For instance, the internet, chat rooms, and newsgroups are the greatest playground for playing Devil's Advocate or even downright antagonism, or inciting "a riot" so to speak! I know I can get certain people going in a heart beat of a stroke of a few keys of my keyboard, and they'll look pretty darned idiotic to most who may have been taking them seriously... Heh heh heh. The beauty of computer-modem communications have been demonstrated time and time again since ARPANET evolved to allow messaging, thus creating the original USENET (acronym for 'university network'). "Source: Jargon File (4.3.1, 29 Jun 2001) Usenet /yoos'net/ or /yooz'net/ n. [from `Users' Network'; the original spelling was USENET, but the mixed-case form is now widely preferred] A distributed bboard (bulletin board) system supported mainly by Unix machines. Originally implemented in 1979-1980 by Steve Bellovin, Jim Ellis, Tom Truscott, and Steve Daniel at Duke University, it has swiftly grown to become international in scope and is now probably the largest decentralized information utility in existence. As of early 1996, it hosts over 10,000 newsgroups and an average of over 500 megabytes (the equivalent of several thousand paper pages) of new technical articles, news, discussion, chatter, and flamage every day (and that leaves out the graphics...)." Don't you get anything right, Len? What everyone can get is much of the slanted propagandizing of various organizations and groups, parroted phrasing repeated by some others as if they were the blessed sayings of the divine. That is carried over to all forms of beliefs from hobbies to politics. You left out "individuals", Len. We've seen countless examples of your output concerning amateur radio, a hobby in which you do not participate. Some of the Believers can get Outraged at any negativisms of the Belief System they have bought (or been psychologically purchased) into and seem to want to Fight To The Death about it. Computer-modem communications allows them to express their Compleat Anger quickly...and so the infamous Flame Wars begin. You Get Outraged Regarding Morse Testing. You Snipe At The ARRL. You Snipe At Radio Amateurs. You Want To Fight About It. You Express Your Anger. You Partipate In Flame Wars (But Not In Amateur Radio). The unfortunate side of the coin is that the same technology that allows widespread textual communications also allows storage of all the communiques for a long time, reproduction of content possible (in many cases) by anyone with access. Those that dared to speak their mind "in public" should remember that their words - en toto - are still out there and could be retrieved for some "moot court" proceedings by Outraged "barracks lawyers" in a newsgroup. Such is a many-edged sword waiting to be drawn by anyone...it can cut every which way and results only in more useless energy-expenditure by all concerned. An usual term, "the unfortunate side of the coin". I'm sure that the Google archives are, for you, the unfortunate side of the coin. Anyone with some experience, practice, and observation of the various human beans roaming the planet can do "button- pressing" of others. Those who are pressed may escalate their frustrations and anger into kiloton explosive rages. Those can smoolder for years and erupt into conflagrations of righteous fire (with brimstone) at any moment. Examples abound in this newsgroup as well as many others. Yeah, watch that "smooldering". The curiosity (to me) is the steadfast Righteousness of some in their Beliefs, specifically in a hobby activity done (supposedly) for individual enjoyment and general recreation. How is that any more curious than one who is not involved in a hobby who maintains a Righteousness In His Beliefs over a hobby activity in which he is not involved? Dave K8MN |

Don't you get anything right, Len? Why should he start today, Dave? It's yet another claim of his "seniority" in another technically-related "career" that he's obviously NOT very competent at. We're STILL awaiting his retraction of his assertions about the legality of operating a radio station beyond the expiration date of the license. Odd he'd make that claim since EVERY federal examination, Amateur or Commercial, has questions specifically addressing the subject of license terms and limits. What everyone can get is much of the slanted propagandizing of various organizations and groups, parroted phrasing repeated by some others as if they were the blessed sayings of the divine. That is carried over to all forms of beliefs from hobbies to politics. You left out "individuals", Len. We've seen countless examples of your output concerning amateur radio, a hobby in which you do not participate. Nor is he very knowledgeable. Example after example of his INcompetence abound. Some of the Believers can get Outraged at any negativisms of the Belief System they have bought (or been psychologically purchased) into and seem to want to Fight To The Death about it. Computer-modem communications allows them to express their Compleat Anger quickly...and so the infamous Flame Wars begin. You Get Outraged Regarding Morse Testing. You Snipe At The ARRL. You Snipe At Radio Amateurs. You Want To Fight About It. You Express Your Anger. You Partipate In Flame Wars (But Not In Amateur Radio). We're also still awating his delivery of evidence to support his claim of dishonesty of the ARRL in general and the Board members in particular. I am also curios to see his supporting evidence of HIS claim of radio services specifically enacted for "purely recreational" uses. That's not been forthcoming either. He also got off on a tangent trying to humiliate me over Civil Air Patrol and started in on CAP's AT-6 and other alleged warbird fleet that I was an "ace aviator" of... (yet another field of knowledge for which Lennie has no experience...) I am still waiting for his supporting evidence on THOSE claims... CAP's only "warbird" remenants are an O-1 Birddog on a pedestel outside it's offices in Alabama. The unfortunate side of the coin is that the same technology that allows widespread textual communications also allows storage of all the communiques for a long time, reproduction of content possible (in many cases) by anyone with access. Those that dared to speak their mind "in public" should remember that their words - en toto - are still out there and could be retrieved for some "moot court" proceedings by Outraged "barracks lawyers" in a newsgroup.

An usual term, "the unfortunate side of the coin". I'm sure that the Google archives are, for you, the unfortunate side of the coin. As were Deja before it, etc etc etc...As I said in another post, Lennie is his own worst enemy. Anyone with some experience, practice, and observation of the various human beans roaming the planet can do "button- pressing" of others. Those who are pressed may escalate their frustrations and anger into kiloton explosive rages. Those can smoolder for years and erupt into conflagrations of righteous fire (with brimstone) at any moment. Examples abound in this newsgroup as well as many others. Yeah, watch that "smooldering". Seems to me that Lennie is the only one with any "smooldering" going on. By the way, under Lennie's own "Rules of Engagement", typos represent "anger" or "madness"...Funny then that he'd suffer a case of typoglycemia about "smoldering"... ! ! The curiosity (to me) is the steadfast Righteousness of some in their Beliefs, specifically in a hobby activity done (supposedly) for individual enjoyment and general recreation. How is that any more curious than one who is not involved in a hobby who maintains a Righteousness In His Beliefs over a hobby activity in which he is not involved? Even more so where there is not a single line of federal regulation within any of the FCC's rules and regulations that addresses "hobby activity" or "general recreation" within Part 97. That it may be used for such is obvious, however there are people who view Emergency Medical Services, criminal forensics and domestic abuse intervention advocacy as "hobbies" too. His "point" about "hobby" is irrelevent..in spades... 73 Steve, K4YZ |

He slipped on his butt-er. What "medical terminology" is "typoglycemia?" None that I know of. It is one of those words similar to what Blackguard once used in here, "Diarrhetoric". A neologism, as it were. Another name for such words is "sniglets", especially if of the humorous variety. You enjoy wordplay, try it out. Wikipedia has some examples: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sniglet What is "angey?" I'll explain that too..... Some times when making a comment about spelling, a person purposely slips in a few typos of their own on purpose, such as "angey" and "speling". - Mike KB3EIA - |

Bingo. btw, it's been exactly five years since Len said he was going for Extra right out of the box. (check Google - it's hilarious) He said maybe he'd make it, maybe he wouldn't. He hasn't made it.

I think "pitiful" is more like it. I am sure that you, like I, have seen people with NO experience in ANY discipline of radio communication, take a week or two of study and walk away from a VE session with a CSCE in hand for a new license. Pity that, then, that a person with Lennie's alleged education and experience hasn't been able to accomplish it in five YEARS, let alone weeks. He said maybe he'd make it, maybe he wouldn't. He hasn't made it. Yet. Oh, I don't thing there was ever ANY doubt as to Lennie's inability to take and pass an Amateur examination. Perhaps we should all clap our hands about that. ;-) ;-) ;-) Absolutely. 73 Steve, K4YZ |
