It seems that SOME amateur radio operators misunderstood my original post.
Somehow this crap about information bulletins and broadcast came up. This
paper had NOTHING to do with Information Bulletins, K1MAN or Broadcasting.
The main theme of that paper is that if Amateur Radio doesn't change the
service will die.

Amateur radio operators, The ARRL, and The FCC think that certain
things shouldn't air. This can be proven by the FCC action against the
Liberty Net, The FCC actions against 19 NETS and BBS back in 1990 as well as
cases of the FCC going after people over content back in the 80's. As well
as the death of packet radio. The death of Packet radio was just a prelude
of things to come. Amateur's who can't see the facts are blind by their own
stupidity.

Amateur radio is going to die, regardless to what anyone think. The
reason amateur radio is going to die is because Amateur radio has nothing to
offer. The FCC can change the system to where all a person has to do is
apply for a license and pay a fee but THAT will not save ham radio unless
amateur radio has something to offer. The point of this paper is that
amateur operators are going to have to get their heads out of their asses
and realize they are going to have to compete against the other service like
the internet. If amateur radio is to survive they are going to have to
compete. To do that amateur radio is going to have to get rid of some of
this idea's regarding different things. As I stated before Packet radio died
because of that. People used packet for a long time but like all thing the
novelty of it wore off. The reason was packet radio didn't have anything
more to offer so people got rid of their TNC's and went to do something
else. The same is happening to amateur radio as a whole. The vast majority
of stuff amateurs can do is now capable through other services like the
internet. Amateur radio is going to have to come up new stuff to offer
people to get them into the service.

More correctly, most amateur radio operators, the ARRL, the FCC and most
of the public think that certain things shouldn't air. Your choice: To
air or to err.

Amateur's who can't see the facts are blind by their own
stupidity.

People who can't spell or construct a sentence should be wary of calling
others "stupid".

Amateur radio is going to die, regardless to what anyone think.

That's your rant and you're sticking with it, despite what the facts
say.

The
reason amateur radio is going to die is because Amateur radio has nothing to
offer.

There are thousands and thousands who disagree with you, Todd. Maybe
what you really mean is that amateur radio has nothing to offer you.
Feel free to move on. Find another interest.

I find it difficult to carry on a discussion with one who feels that
because his cranium is inserted into his rectum, everyone else is in the
same fix.

Every few months, some boy genius like you shows up in one of the
amateur radio newsgroups like a shooting star, only to burn up on enty
into Earth's atmosphere.

Heil actually has a point, smug as it is.

I think what we are seeing is the start of this decade's chicken little
dance.

If only we could introduce Todd to WA8ULX.

You seem to be having attribution problems, "bb". I did not write the
above.

Can you figure out the attributions?

From what you've come up with this time, you again have me writing:

"If only we could introduce Todd to WA8ULX."

"Heil actually has a point, smug as it is."

"I think what we are seeing is the start of this decade's chicken little
dance."

The only problem is, I didn't write any of those things. You're
drifting
farther off course, "bb".
