There is no doubt about that. And are you saying that the USS Liberty had NO Jewish members of her crew? It's a large enough ship that the odds would indicate that some of the US crew probably was Jewish. Who knows, perhaps even some of the fatalities were Jewish Americans? Are you saying that there are NO Christians or people of other religious/cultural beliefs in the Israeli population, the Israeli government, or Israeli military? Dee D. Flint, N8UZE |

"My service at ADA" was NOT ever presented as any form of "justification" about "amateur radio policy." What I originally presented was factual information based on personal experience in regards to USE OF MORSE CODE by a large Army communications station. Army station ADA (it still exists, by the way) USE OF MORSE CODE MODE was nil, none, nada from 1953 onwards. World War II ended in 1945. Further, I stated that (based on Pacific Stars & Strips published story of 1955) ADA relayed 220 thousand messages a month in 1955. ADA (also known by the TTY message identifier of "RUAP") was only the third largest Army station in ACAN (Army Command and Administrative Network). Such traffic operation took place around the clock, every day ("24/7"). Further, I stated (correctly, from Army documents) that the ONLY morse code operator training in the 1950s was for Field Radio Operator. Field Radio is exemplified by operations of Regimental-level AN/GRC-26 self-contained transmitter-receiver huts on the bed of a 2 1/2 ton truck. "Angry-26s" were in use at much lower traffic levels, by unit command, and also used TTY much more than any morse code...in Korea, in Japan, or anywhere else in the Far East Command in the early 1950s. Field radio did not normally communicate with Far East Command Headquarters directly, but had the capability. Such was never witnessed by myself, nor appeared in any operations orders of the station. The brunt of military messaging is done by the (relatively, speaking in 1950s terms) high-speed TTY that can carry message traffic 24/7. All of that constituted the NORMAL means of logistical communications...all of that necessary for troop movements, shipping of supplies, operational orders, etc., etc., etc. The total personnel and installations in the Far East Command then was akin to a small state, therefore the amount of communications was quite large. At NO TIME was any bank of morse code operators seen OR KNOWN serving either the FEC Hq or Army Central Command ("central" insofar as Japan). Did I "know" all that? Yes. It was part of my duty there to not only be at a part of the communications station but to make trips to nearby units. Do I have absolute proof of all of it by referencible documents? No. Only some. Am I "lying" in stating any of the above? No. There is NO reason for me to "lie" about anything there. There is no reason for N2JTV to say anything about it, yet Gene was there at the same time I was, the same station but on a different operating team. [Gene doesn't access this group] The gist of all that is that: MORSE CODE WAS NOT IN USE FOR MAJOR COMMUNICATIONS TRAFFIC. Not in The Far East Command at the time. That Command included USAF and USN. I've seen documents that stated the communications plans from 1948 onwards would handle ALL normal message traffic by TTY for the future. I do not have such a document to "prove" it but can state that, from 1953 onwards, it WAS TRUE by example, by all operational orders between 1953 and 1956, by various Army documents published since 1956, by various Signal Corps photographs (none of which show any morse code operators at work) in the Far East Command. Was there ANY morse code used in the U.S. military? Of course. All in Battalion or smaller units for field radio in the Army...on board ship in what Hans Brakob describes as "small boys" such as DDs (destroyers) or lesser-tonnage vessels. Morse code skill was required by some airborne radio units (ASW and the like) and for aircraft on long, over-water flights...also for the (then) Distress and Safety (international) frequencies shared by everyone. I do not have any specific cites of morse code use by SAC units of the 50s or 60s, but TAC does not include it. Long over-water flights my USAF military transports required morsemen on board. What you have to understand is that the cruiser or heavier class ships had carried RTTY since first starting with that in 1940. That was necessary to insure the secure "rotor machine" encryption terminals (on-line or off-line capable) for Command orders and responses. Regardless of nit-picking on the names of such systems or their absolute, exact nomenclature, their existance was acknowledged in at least two civilian books first published in the 1960s (David Kahn's "Codebreakers" was on the NYT non-fiction bestseller list for several months, a seminal text on history of cryptography). Morse code use in small-unit radio decreased and decreased from the 1950s onward. All branches, even the USCG. TTY rates jumped from 60 WPM to 100 WPM, then morphed into "data" in various forms at rates up to 2400 WPM over HF radio links. By 1978 the USAF (one of the remaining strong users of HF) was shutting down HF as a spectrum component in favor of the new satellite relay and troposcatter, VHF and UHF (they'd had the 225-400 MHz "military aviation band" since shortly after WW2). By then the sole use of morse code was limited to emergency communications as a secondary. It MAY have been used for ALERT messaging of submarines but another (with actual experience of such communications) will have to give details. By the 1980s, the ALERT messaging to boomers and sharks was done by some form of encrypted DATA. As to the SAC messaging on "oil burner routes" or otherwise on loitering flights, I can't comment on those formats or content other than to say morse code was NOT used for those. So, there has been a lessening NEED for any "trained morsemen" in the U.S. military over the past HALF CENTURY. It has VANISHED for use in actual communications in the military...since the International Distress and Safesty system was implemented a few years ago worldwide, the USCG has stopped monitoring 500 KHz. The military has had MILLIONS of U.S. citizens in service in all that time, still has a million-plus serving. Morse code use in the military is limited solely to INTELLIGENCE INTERCEPTS (one-way, "silent listening"). GONE is the NEED for "trained morsemen" of any kind by the United States government. There is NO NEED of any sort of "trained pool" of such morsemen for the national use. That lessening began about 57 years ago although it was already happening during WW2 when HF commercial SSB was carrying TTY messaging to Europe and Asia. What is left is a lot of daydreaming by amateurs based on myths begun in WW2 of glorious use of morse "in battle zones" or as the valiant radio operators of B-17s and B-24s (actually more gunners than radio operators) and "fighting men" in ship radio rooms, etc. Generations of day- dreaming amateurs passed them on to succeeding generations until the mythos became almost palpable. The only radio service in the USA that requires morsemanship skills is Amateur Radio Service and that ONLY for privileges below 30 MHz. When it comes to "handling traffic" on HF, *NO* amateur radio group or net can come even close to the amount handled by the third-largest radio communications station of the Army did a half century ago. Not even if you use mulltipliers to make up for the (usually specious) claim that amateurs "use only their own purchased equipment." Further, amateurs do NOT do it 24/7 for months on end, "CW" or not. You are getting very tiresome on this petulant complaint about one other radio activity on HF or bitching about someone who was there. Put an end to it. All your petulant whining about the glory and efficacy of morse code is of NO value in the whole wide world of radio communications today. All you have left is the mythology of "greatness in morsemanship" to rationalize keeping the morse code test for a HOBBY use of radio by amateur radio hobbyists. |

Here, I'll clear it up: This is NOT a court of law and "exactness" of quoting is NOT required...except by those who live for the pitiful "word battle" and self-glorification. MARS and amateur radio aren't the same thing. But many radio amateurs are involved in MARS. The MILITARY Affiliate Radio System is DIRECTED by the Department of Defense. They function quite well by sole use of military personnel. See the links to the actual words of the DoD DIRECTIVE posted in here...see the links to several of the "Grecian Firebolt" radio exercises posted in here. That's my position. If Steve says different, argue with *him*. Considering that James P. Miccolis is a "good buddie" of that wonderful representative of a modern U.S. Amateur Extra, that is a specious comment of yours. :-) You HAVE supported him in the recent past and not long ago disavowed any attempt to control his emotional outbursts. MARS always was and remains a MILITARY radio system. But most of the participants aren't in the military. How do YOU know? I have sources, Len. Tsk, tsk, tsk. That is acceptible ONLY to reputable journalistic practice. YOU are NOT a "reputable journalist." You do NOT have the qualifications. You are NOT INVOLVED in journalism. :-) Do you feel insulted by my posts, Len? It seems so - you seem to find insult in everything. Not me. You are the one with daydreaming about the "need" of morsemanship in amateur radio licensing test. Oh, yes, that ties right in with a Canadian museum having morse code in its window...sure... Those windows really seem to bother you. ? I wash windows. I like Microsoft windows. What "bothers" me is that a NON-SERVUNG (EVER) person tried to make out like he was the "expert" on the United States military use of radio. You are NOT QUALIFIED for such a judgement. shrug What has that to do with your claim that: "If you ain't got the guts to tell the details, you AIN'T done it. Simple as that." That's what you wrote, Len. Does it only apply to Steve and not to Brian. Simple. Brian has NOT insulted me personally, not even many times over. Robeson HAS and continues to do it. I'm just showing what a damn LIAR he is. What lie? The claim he has made is that he found someone who knew you from when you were allegedly at NADC. And that someone says you didn't do such a great job there. That's the LIE you are referring to. Why do you say "allegedly" there? If you don't believe I was there (I was), then Robeson's claim is irrelevant. Why do you feel you are INVOLVED with Robeson? You've already disavowed any capability of controlling his emotional tantrums in here. Now maybe it's true and maybe it isn't. But it's basically your word against that of some unknown person. IMAGINARY person. I can't "disprove" something that doesn't exist. If you wish a reference to the fact that I WAS at NADC or that I worked with NADC engineers in the 1970s, you can verify that with KD6JG. Jimmie boy, you are getting VERY tiring with all this "intellectual word gaming" in here. All you are doing is WASTING TIME of others. I have plenty of time but grow tired of your constant petulance. You have NO return on any investment. All you seem to do is follow your buddie's word and SUPPORT him.

So much for your "strength of conviction." Lennie is YEARS BEHIND coming clean on his errors, lies and deceit, Brian... Y E A R S ! ! ! ! The old, "two wrongs makes a right" defense. I have to disagree. Robeson is so caught up in his personal hatred of me that he cannot possibly discuss anything rationally...or even act rationally. He is the constant antagonist of ANYONE who disagrees with him. Case in point is others' opinions. Robeson labels those as "LIES," perhaps even "deceit" even though those are just personal opinions. Apparently, in Stevieworld, only Stevie Robeson has the "truth." Ergo, in the logic of Stevieworld, ALL contrary (to Robeson's) opinions are "LIES" as well as "errors" and "deceit." That's quite sick. Irrational. Opinions are just opinions. However, Robeson seems to take everything against his opinions as a "personal attack." He then respond but that response IS a personal attack on his perceived attacker. He hasn't yet learned that such is NOT the way discussions go in our society. On the other hand, if Robeson has been so brainwashed by the remaining amateur radio membership organization that he believes ONLY what they say, then any negative against him is held AS a personal attack. That is NOT the fault of anyone voicing a negative opinion against Robeson's, it is Robeson's fault. You won't do what you know to be right because someone else isn't doing what you know to be right. I AM, repeat AM doing "what's right". Repeating something doesn't make it any more true or false. But in this case, it makes lies #19 and #20. Quite true, but Robeson hasn't learned to communicate with rational people yet. He simply drives home a blunt point that HE IS RIGHT with no proof or other reference that it IS right. That's either a monstrous ego at work there or it can be a curious mixture of the reasons I mentioned just before. Either way, it is not right...to rational people. You and Leonard are lairs, Brian. That's a falsehood, a LIE. Robeson's only justification of that is that HE IS RIGHT. It is his antagonist style which is so off-putting to so many...no justification, just the personal insult and LIE combination. You don't tell the truth. YOU make glaring errors, and then when I make a simple one, all of a sudden you think your slates are wiped clean. Robeson's simple LIE-insult in the first quoted sentence is an absolute statement. It is without any presented proof...therefore it is Robeson's OPINION. However, any of Robeson's OPINIONS are - in his communications here - perfectly "right." HE IS RIGHT in Stevieworld. Problem is, everyone else is NOT in Stevieworld (wherever that is). Lessee? 30 hours before Len makes an appearance in one of your demented threads, you're chiding him for disapproving of what you said. Then you have a conversation with a claimed colleague of Len's years and years before you ever heard of Len. Both cases were smear campaigns against Len, and you say you make simple errors??? Sorry...Doesn't work that way. That's right Steve, it doesn't work that way. What you said was an outright lie. Robeson's HATRED and ANGER seem to be overriding any rationality here. Robeson cannot prove the existance of this "fitrep" determiner. He has compounded that by numerous statements, none of which have any proof of truth. [see my previous message on this...] Actually, several years ago, Robeson tried the same ploy and embellished that until nearly in the form it was recently. That was unproveable then and his claim is unproveable now. None of this discussion has ANYTHING to do with amateur radio policy. It is just the usual Stevie psychotic activity in here, part of his general misuse of the newsgroup as his own personal "battleground." Robeson doesn't seem capable of acknowledging that he ever does anything wrong. That seems to increase his anger quotient and his personal insults grow to incomprehensible blatherings of Hatred and Anger. Robeson is an EXAMPLE of a modern U.S. Amateur Extra. Other Amateur Extras seem unable to take any strong action to stop his pollution of all threads in this newsgroup. All threads eventually turn into Robeson's insults of all his "opponents" in any discussion. A few have made negative comments to his style, notably Hans Brakob. Responses to those by Robeson were less than civil and uncomplimentary. |

Field radio did not normally communicate with Far East Command Headquarters directly, but had the capability. Such was never witnessed by myself, nor appeared in any operations orders of the station. So you really are just going on the words of others. The brunt of military messaging is done by the (relatively, speaking in 1950s terms) high-speed TTY that can carry message traffic 24/7. Morse can carry message traffic "24/7", Len. You can't. All of that constituted the NORMAL means of logistical communications...all of that necessary for troop movements, shipping of supplies, operational orders, etc., etc., etc. Sure. And they used HF radio because other means weren't available or were inadequate. The total personnel and installations in the Far East Command then was akin to a small state, therefore the amount of communications was quite large. And the number of personnel assigned to the communications was quite large, too, wasn't it? Not just you but more than 700 people at ADA alone, wasn't it? At NO TIME was any bank of morse code operators seen OR KNOWN serving either the FEC Hq or Army Central Command ("central" insofar as Japan). "seen or known" by whom? Did I "know" all that? Yes. It was part of my duty there to not only be at a part of the communications station but to make trips to nearby units. Do I have absolute proof of all of it by referencible documents? No. Only some. So you don't really know from personal experience. Besides, as you have said, the non-existence of something cannot be completely proved. Am I "lying" in stating any of the above? No. There is NO reason for me to "lie" about anything there. Sure there's a reason. Several, actually. But I've never accused anyone here of lying. Not even you. I've pointed out mistakes, but that's a different thing entirely. A lie is intentional, a mistake isn't. There is no reason for N2JTV to say anything about it, yet Gene was there at the same time I was, the same station but on a different operating team. [Gene doesn't access this group] Do you call him "Genie" or some other insulting nickname, Len? Or just "Gene" or "N2JTV"? The gist of all that is that: MORSE CODE WAS NOT IN USE FOR MAJOR COMMUNICATIONS TRAFFIC. Not in The Far East Command at the time. That Command included USAF and USN. Even if that's true - so what? The Far East Command wasn't amateur radio. And it seems that you are hyper focused on "MAJOR COMMUNICATIONS TRAFFIC" as if nothing else matters. I've seen documents that stated the communications plans from 1948 onwards would handle ALL normal message traffic by TTY for the future. I do not have such a document to "prove" it but can state that, from 1953 onwards, it WAS TRUE by example, by all operational orders between 1953 and 1956, by various Army documents published since 1956, by various Signal Corps photographs (none of which show any morse code operators at work) in the Far East Command. Even if that's all true - and you could be mistaken about it, but let's not go there right now - what possible connection does that have to amateur radio policy in 2005? Was there ANY morse code used in the U.S. military? Of course. FINALLY!! Len admits the US military actually used Morse Code! Next thing we'll see is the sun coming up in the west ;-) All in Battalion or smaller units for field radio in the Army...on board ship in what Hans Brakob describes as "small boys" such as DDs (destroyers) or lesser-tonnage vessels. How about submarines? Did you know that approximately half of all Japanese ships sunk in WW2 were sunk by US submarines - a force that was only a very small part of the US Navy at the time? Subs also sent back vital information from Japanese-controlled areas (such as weather and enemy task force movements). Also rescued downed airmen and aviators, placed and retrieved covert operatives. You can look all this up. I don't think US Navy submarines had teletype aboard in WW2. Morse code skill was required by some airborne radio units (ASW and the like) and for aircraft on long, over-water flights...also for the (then) Distress and Safety (international) frequencies shared by everyone. How about that! I do not have any specific cites of morse code use by SAC units of the 50s or 60s, but TAC does not include it. Long over-water flights my USAF military transports required morsemen on board. You mean "radio operators skilled in the use of Morse Code" What you have to understand is that the cruiser or heavier class ships had carried RTTY since first starting with that in 1940. All of them? Why do I "have to" understand that? That was necessary to insure the secure "rotor machine" encryption terminals (on-line or off-line capable) for Command orders and responses. But other USN ships were able to communicate securely without RTTY. Regardless of nit-picking on the names of such systems or their absolute, exact nomenclature, You mean you were mistaken in your earlier posts, as corrected by K0HB. their existance was acknowledged in at least two civilian books first published in the 1960s (David Kahn's "Codebreakers" was on the NYT non-fiction bestseller list for several months, a seminal text on history of cryptography). Hams aren't allowed to encrypt their transmissions. Against the rules. "Encrypt" meaning "to conceal the meaning". Morse code use in small-unit radio decreased and decreased from the 1950s onward. All branches, even the USCG. Nobody disputes that. Yet even in the 1990s it was in use, and there were maritime rescues dependent on it. SOLAS and all that. TTY rates jumped from 60 WPM to 100 WPM, Hardly a "jump", Len. More like a slide. then morphed into "data" in various forms at rates up to 2400 WPM over HF radio links. By 1978 the USAF (one of the remaining strong users of HF) was shutting down HF as a spectrum component in favor of the new satellite relay and troposcatter, VHF and UHF (they'd had the 225-400 MHz "military aviation band" since shortly after WW2). How does this have anything to do with amateur radio policy? All amateur radio privileges above 30 MHz are available without a code test. By then the sole use of morse code was limited to emergency communications as a secondary. Even if true...so what? It MAY have been used for ALERT messaging of submarines but another (with actual experience of such communications) will have to give details. Why, Len? You give all sorts of details on things you have no experience with... By the 1980s, the ALERT messaging to boomers and sharks was done by some form of encrypted DATA. As to the SAC messaging on "oil burner routes" or otherwise on loitering flights, I can't comment on those formats or content other than to say morse code was NOT used for those. Even if that's true..... So, there has been a lessening NEED for any "trained morsemen" in the U.S. military over the past HALF CENTURY. Did the military call them "trained morsemen", Len? Or something else, like "Radioman First Class"? (Rm1C)? It has VANISHED for use in actual communications in the military...since the International Distress and Safesty system was implemented a few years ago worldwide, the USCG has stopped monitoring 500 KHz. Because they don't have to, anymore. Did you know that a new Morse shore station was just licensed to operate on 600 meters (500 kHz) and HF maritime frequencies? Call is KSM. The military has had MILLIONS of U.S. citizens in service in all that time, still has a million-plus serving. Morse code use in the military is limited solely to INTELLIGENCE INTERCEPTS (one-way, "silent listening"). Even if that's true.... GONE is the NEED for "trained morsemen" of any kind by the United States government. Who ever said there was such a need in modern times, Len? Not me. There is NO NEED of any sort of "trained pool" of such morsemen for the national use. Who ever said there was? That lessening began about 57 years ago although it was already happening during WW2 when HF commercial SSB was carrying TTY messaging to Europe and Asia. Here's a clue, Len: The FCC, in Part 97, mentions the need for a pool of trained skilled radio operators or some similar verbiage. You can look up the exact words if you're so inclined. The key point is that one of the Basis and Purpose of the Amateur Radio Service is to have such a pool of radio operators. Doesn't say anything about "morsemen". And it never has - the Basis and Purpose were first put there in 1951, and the phrase has always referred to "skilled radio operators" with no mention of Morse Code. What is left is a lot of daydreaming by amateurs based on myths begun in WW2 of glorious use of morse "in battle zones" or as the valiant radio operators of B-17s and B-24s (actually more gunners than radio operators) and "fighting men" in ship radio rooms, etc. What "myths", Len? Were you there? Have you ever been in a B-17, B-24 or B-29? Generations of day- dreaming amateurs passed them on to succeeding generations until the mythos became almost palpable. So you're saying Morse Code wasn't used in WW2 for anything important, huh? The only radio service in the USA that requires morsemanship skills is Amateur Radio Service and that ONLY for privileges below 30 MHz. And that's perfectly reasonable because hams *do* use Morse Code - particularly below 30 MHz. Seems to me your whole argument comes down to the idea that since the US military doesn't use Morse Code much if at all anymore, hams shouldn't use it either, nor have a test for it. All that verbiage of yours, summed up in one sentence. When it comes to "handling traffic" on HF, *NO* amateur radio group or net can come even close to the amount handled by the third-largest radio communications station of the Army did a half century ago. Sure we can. 700 amateurs, each with PSK-31 or some other modern data mode, 10 messages per day each. Do it for a month and there's 220,000 messages. But is size all that impresses you, Len? Seems like it. Not even if you use mulltipliers to make up for the (usually specious) claim that amateurs "use only their own purchased equipment." What "specious claim", Len? It's a fact - almost all hams have to buy/build and maintain their own equipment. Not like the military, where Uncle pays for everything. Sure, a few hams have access to club or other stations funded by others. But they're the exception that proves the rule. Further, amateurs do NOT do it 24/7 for months on end, "CW" or not. Neither do you, Len. Nor did you, at ADA or anywhere else. 700 plus personnel, remember? You are getting very tiresome on this petulant complaint about one other radio activity on HF or bitching about someone who was there. The main petulance and bitching are yours, Len, repeating the same story over and over and over, as if it is somehow relevant. It isn't. Put an end to it. Are you telling me to shut up, Len? Seems like it. You rail on about the First Amendment but then tell others to shut up. Double standard of the worst kind. I've never told you or anyone else here to shut up... All your petulant whining about the glory and efficacy of morse code is of NO value in the whole wide world of radio communications today. What "petulant whining", Len? Show us an example. And the fact is, Morse Code is of great "value in the whole wide world of radio communications today" - because that includes Amateur Radio. Or do you exclude Amateur Radio? Aren't we hams big enough to count? All you have left is the mythology of "greatness in morsemanship" to rationalize keeping the morse code test for a HOBBY use of radio by amateur radio hobbyists. No mythology, Len. Fact. |

Is it wrong to mention an interesting architectural feature? Morse code is NOW an "interesting architectural feature?" The windows are an interesting architectural feature. Way back in Usenet history(early 90's), there were posts signed by an author named "Serdar Argic" who repetitively posted about the Armenian murders of Turks in 1918: http://www.jaedworks.com/shoebox/zumabot.html (Reputable historians agree that the killing was the other way around.) Some interesting similarities to Len: - Serdar responded to each and every mention of "Turkey" or "Armenia," no matter the context, with long harangues about his interpretation of history. - Len responds to each and every mention of "Morse Code," no matter the context, with long harangues about his interpretation of history. - Any attempt to engage Serdar in debate resulted in him insulting others with invectives like "Gum Brain," "Wieneramus," "your Criminal Armenian Grandparents" (even others who were, say, ethnic Japanese), and "A mouthpiece for the fascist x-Soviet Armenian Government." - Any attempt to engage Len in debate results in him insulting others with invectives like "Gunnery Nurse," "Katapult King," "Macho Morsemen," and "A believer in the Church of St. Hiram." - While somewhat amusing at first, with posters able to easily rebut Serdar, even writing parodies mocking the overwrought style of the posts, the amusement turned to annoyance when the sheer volume of his posts overwhelmed any on-topic discussion. - While somewhat amusing at first, with posters able to easily rebut Len, even writing parodies mocking the overwrought style of the posts, the amusement turned to annoyance when the sheer volume of his posts overwhelmed any on-topic discussion. - Serdar failed his Turing Test for human intelligence when it became clear that he could not distinguish between Turkey, the country, and Turkey, the meat. For example, his postings went up dramatically in the first two weeks preceding American Thanksgiving, strongly suggesting that the posts were written and posted by some kind of AI or "bot." - Len's sentience, and ability to pass the Turing Test, is left as an exercise for the reader.

Huge snip of ususal obnxious verbosity to..... Other Amateur Extras seem unable to take any strong action to stop his pollution of all threads in this newsgroup. All threads eventually turn into Robeson's insults of all his "opponents" in any discussion. A few have made negative comments to his style, notably Hans Brakob. Responses to those by Robeson were less than civil and uncomplimentary. While I have no doubt that not everyone approves of my "up in your face" methology of dealing with the two of you, I DO notice that NONE of them, other than to acknowledge your "First Amendment Right" to do so, "support" YOUR presence here, Lennie. Tsk.

You are both liiars. What is a "liiar?" List the "LIES" supposedly said in here. You don't do what you'll say you'll do. Robeson has yet to "do what he says he will do." :-) Namely PROVE the existance of this imaginary "fitrep" person he says evaluated me at NADC 34 years ago. :-) Robeson has yet to acknowledge that the Department of Defense DOES DIRECT MARS...even when given the link to the latest document issued by the DoD. Robeson has yet to state the WHEN and WHERE of his mighty "hostile action" experiences. They're tired of the same "Back in 1953...." war satories. Well, regardless of the anger-induced typos ("satories"), I did work big-time HF communications for three straight years beginning in 1953. Robeson has NOT done anything close to that. Robeson has NEVER worked in electronics engineering as either civilian or military member, yet presumes to be "knowledgeable" about engineering after a very short-term job as a purchasing agent! You'e deceitful. Present the "proof." Describe the WHY where ALL MUST do exactly what they (allegedly) "promised" years ago. Robeson does little else but hurl personal insults at those who do not agree with him. That gets him the attention he seems to be desperately seeking. Robeson manages to turn EVERY thread in this newsgroup into his own "FIGHT" with all those who disagree with him. It really is THAT simple. Robeson IS "that simple." Robeson is an EXAMPLE of a modern U.S. Amateur Extra. |

You are the one with daydreaming about the "need" of morsemanship in amateur radio licensing test. You really are unable to handle opposition and difference of viewpoints, Len. Oh, yes, that ties right in with a Canadian museum having morse code in its window...sure... Those windows really seem to bother you. ? I wash windows. I like Microsoft windows. I figured you for a Mac user, Len. ;-) What "bothers" me is that a NON-SERVUNG "SERVUNG"? What does that mean? (EVER) person tried to make out like he was the "expert" on the United States military use of radio. I don't claim to be an expert on anything, Len. I think the fact that I pointed out some of your mistakes really burns your bacon. You are NOT QUALIFIED for such a judgement. shrug Sure I am. What has that to do with your claim that: "If you ain't got the guts to tell the details, you AIN'T done it. Simple as that." That's what you wrote, Len. Does it only apply to Steve and not to Brian. Simple. Brian has NOT insulted me personally, not even many times over. Robeson HAS and continues to do it. Ah, I see. If someone agrees with you and demonstrates the proper kudos, you accept what they say as absolute fact, without any details or supporting evidence. But if someone disagrees with you, and maybe "returns your fire" in the form of name calling and other jackass behavior, you demand "proof" and deny the reality of their experience. In fact, you claim that: "If you ain't got the guts to tell the details, you AIN'T done it. Simple as that." Of course you've also demonstrated that no matter what proof is presented, you won't accept it, and will attack the messenger. So there's no reason to give you details or proof. I'm just showing what a damn LIAR he is. What lie? The claim he has made is that he found someone who knew you from when you were allegedly at NADC. And that someone says you didn't do such a great job there. That's the LIE you are referring to. That he found someone, or what the person said? Why do you say "allegedly" there? Because I don't know for sure. You've made mistakes before. Why should I accept your words as fact when you don't accept mine? If you don't believe I was there (I was), then Robeson's claim is irrelevant. No, it isn't. Either you were there, or you weren't. That's objective reality. Whether I believe it or not doesn't affect whether you were there or not. You claim without proof that no such person exists. So it's your word against his. Why do you feel you are INVOLVED with Robeson? What involvement? I'm simply pointing out some facts. You've already disavowed any capability of controlling his emotional tantrums in here. So? *You* can't control his emotional tantrums "in here", either, despite all your alleged knowledge of human nature and psychology, etc. In fact, Len, you can't even control your own emotional tantrums "in here" ;-) Now maybe it's true and maybe it isn't. But it's basically your word against that of some unknown person. IMAGINARY person. The only way that could be proved true is if: 1) You were never at NADC, so nobody could know you from there. 2) Everyone who knew you there is now dead or otherwise unable to communicate with Steve. 3) You have complete information that no one you knew there has communicated with Steve. I can't "disprove" something that doesn't exist. So it's your word against his. Nothing more or less. If you wish a reference to the fact that I WAS at NADC or that I worked with NADC engineers in the 1970s, you can verify that with KD6JG. Why? Was he there with you? How do I know his information is reliable? More important - how would it prove that Steve has not communicated with someone who knew you there? Jimmie boy, you are getting VERY tiring with all this "intellectual word gaming" in here. Now there you go, Len, trying to make me angry by calling me names. The fact is you know you've painted yourself into a logical corner, and you're trying to bluff and bluster your way out. Can't you take "strong opposition"? All you are doing is WASTING TIME of others. How? I'm simply pointing out some of your mistakes and holes in your logic. Do you consider what you write to be a waste of time? I have plenty of time but grow tired of your constant petulance. What "petulance", Len? I'm not calling you names. You have NO return on any investment. That's not what my monthly statements say! ;-) All you seem to do is follow your buddie's word and SUPPORT him.

Why would you then make so assinine an assertion as to suggest that I have some ego to suggest I believe it's "approved"...?!?! Another snip of ususal pejorative laden rhetoric (that he claims is only used AGAINST him...).... Robeson IS "that simple." Not as "simple" as the alleged ex-radio engineer who makes assinine assertions based upon quotes that clearly undermine it. Robeson is an EXAMPLE of a modern U.S. Amateur Extra. And the IEEE should sue to get you to stop using an IEEE address in public. You're a humiliation to one and all. Steve, K4YZ |
wrote in message oups.com... didn't they test the machines at 100 before the changeover? Ponder that question a minute!

In some cases (CVA's, CL's, CA's, and flag-configured platforms) that was possible with spare machines, but most hulls did not have that luxury.

Especially when they are FROM him...Because sure enough something he said is going to come back to haunt him... MARS and amateur radio aren't the same thing. But many radio amateurs are involved in MARS. The MILITARY Affiliate Radio System is DIRECTED by the Department of Defense. They function quite well by sole use of military personnel. No hams are involved in MARS? Sure they are, Jim. Lennie knows that. And Lennie ALSO knows that his "sole use of military personnel" is an absolute lie. See the links to the actual words of the DoD DIRECTIVE posted in here...see the links to several of the "Grecian Firebolt" radio exercises posted in here. Were you a part of that exercise, Len? Of course not. But Lennie COULD have been...Aafterall, HE said it's possible for non-Amateurs to become "licensed" in MARS who are not otherwise part of a relevent DoD program... Still waiting for him to tell us of how he's now on MARS without a Morse Code test.... That's my position. If Steve says different, argue with *him*. Considering that James P. Miccolis is a "good buddie" of that wonderful representative of a modern U.S. Amateur Extra, that is a specious comment of yours. Not specious at all, Len. You hold me responsible for what someone else does. Doesn't work like that, Len. Guess Lenie thinks that his sarcastic use of "wonderful representitive" doesn't work for him too. But it works just fine... You HAVE supported him in the recent past and not long ago disavowed any attempt to control his emotional outbursts. What you're saying is that if I agree with him on something, I'm somehow responsible for everything he does. As opposed to Lennie who's not even responsible for what Lennie does! MARS always was and remains a MILITARY radio system. But most of the participants aren't in the military. How do YOU know? I have sources, Len. Tsk, tsk, tsk. That is acceptible "acceptable", Len. A PROFESSIONAL writer doesn't make such mistakes. ;-) A TYPO! A TYPO! Lennie's MAD now Boys and Girls! ONLY to reputable journalistic practice. YOU are NOT a "reputable journalist." You do NOT have the qualifications. You are NOT INVOLVED in journalism. Neither are you, Len. I've been paid for papers I've written. Had them published, too. Guess that means I am "involved in journalism" too, eh...?!?! Do you feel insulted by my posts, Len? It seems so - you seem to find insult in everything. Not me. Yes, you. ESPECIALLY him! You are the one with daydreaming about the "need" of morsemanship in amateur radio licensing test. You really are unable to handle opposition and difference of viewpoints, Len. Oh, yes, that ties right in with a Canadian museum having morse code in its window...sure... Those windows really seem to bother you. ? I wash windows. I like Microsoft windows. I figured you for a Mac user, Len. What "bothers" me is that a NON-SERVUNG "SERVUNG"? What does that mean? (EVER) person tried to make out like he was the "expert" on the United States military use of radio. I don't claim to be an expert on anything, Len. I think the fact that I pointed out some of your mistakes really burns your bacon. He's made TYPOS! Lennie's REALLY mad now! You are NOT QUALIFIED for such a judgement. shrug Sure I am. Lesseee......I LOVE it when Lennie claims that one MUST have certain credentials in order to comment on military use of radio (which Lennie has not participated in in almost 50 years himself...), yet when any of us suggest that if he were a licensed Amateur with some PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE in Amateur Radio policy and practice, all he can tell us about is the licensure status of FCC commissioners and his Army days in 53-56 while getting profane and demanding! What has that to do with your claim that: "If you ain't got the guts to tell the details, you AIN'T done it. Simple as that." That's what you wrote, Len. Does it only apply to Steve and not to Brian. Simple. Brian has NOT insulted me personally, not even many times over. Robeson HAS and continues to do it. Ah, I see. If someone agrees with you and demonstrates the proper kudos, you accept what they say as absolute fact, without any details or supporting evidence. But if someone disagrees with you, and maybe "returns your fire" in the form of name calling and other jackass behavior, you demand "proof" and deny the reality of their experience. In fact, you claim that: "If you ain't got the guts to tell the details, you AIN'T done it. Simple as that." Of course you've also demonstrated that no matter what proof is presented, you won't accept it, and will attack the messenger. So there's no reason to give you details or proof. Still wondering where Lennie's pictures of his home "radio hobby" projects are...Of course he insults and He insists he has some (projects), but never discusses them or presents them. Has tons of time to insult others over theirs, though. If you don't believe I was there (I was), then Robeson's claim is irrelevant. No, it isn't. Either you were there, or you weren't. That's objective reality. Whether I believe it or not doesn't affect whether you were there or not. You claim without proof that no such person exists. So it's your word against his. Why do you feel you are INVOLVED with Robeson? What involvement? I'm simply pointing out some facts. That's what has Lennie confused. Facts are NOT his forte... You've already disavowed any capability of controlling his emotional tantrums in here. So? *You* can't control his emotional tantrums "in here", either, despite all your alleged knowledge of human nature and psychology, etc. In fact, Len, you can't even control your own emotional tantrums "in here" ;-) Extremely good point...especially with him making several posts this day alone with out-and-out demands, multiple typos (his own "rule" that typos are indicative of anger or "madness"), and frequent use of profanity and antagonistic comments such as "kiss off". Now maybe it's true and maybe it isn't. But it's basically your word against that of some unknown person. IMAGINARY person. The only way that could be proved true is if: 1) You were never at NADC, so nobody could know you from there. Nope...Lennie was there. 2) Everyone who knew you there is now dead or otherwise unable to communicate with Steve. Last I spoke with my contact there was 4 years ago. He may have passed on since then, but he's in great shape...I really doubt it. 3) You have complete information that no one you knew there has communicated with Steve. Ain't happened...Hence Lennie's frequent and lengthy tirades in here in order to mask his retreat...Problem is all he's doing is stompping that much harder! I can't "disprove" something that doesn't exist. So it's your word against his. Nothing more or less. A-yup. And it seems pretty evident from all teh rhetoric that I hit a pretty sensitive chord. He shudda kept his mouth shut instead of trying to show off! If you wish a reference to the fact that I WAS at NADC or that I worked with NADC engineers in the 1970s, you can verify that with KD6JG. Why? Was he there with you? How do I know his information is reliable? And such corroboration would only further substantiate my findings. More important - how would it prove that Steve has not communicated with someone who knew you there? =) Jimmie boy, you are getting VERY tiring with all this "intellectual word gaming" in here. Now there you go, Len, trying to make me angry by calling me names. The fact is you know you've painted yourself into a logical corner, and you're trying to bluff and bluster your way out. Can't you take "strong opposition"? Of course he can't, Jim. That's why he's so frustrated. He came in here thinking (falsely) that all those "amateurs" would just fall at his professional feet. When we not only DIDN'T kneel before him but actually demonstrated that, Yes, we CAN walk, chew gum AND talk on a radio at the same time, he got down right indignant...! All you are doing is WASTING TIME of others. How? I'm simply pointing out some of your mistakes and holes in your logic. Do you consider what you write to be a waste of time? I have plenty of time but grow tired of your constant petulance. What "petulance", Len? I'm not calling you names. I reiterate my suggestion of Lennie's perception as being better than "us"...He sees all of us as errant children, and he thinks himself the father about to administer corporal punishment. You have NO return on any investment. That's not what my monthly statements say! Seems to me all of us with an FCC Form 660 have an investment! All you seem to do is follow your buddie's word and SUPPORT him. You have NO proof that this imaginary "reference" of Robeson exists, can NOT present it to anyone else. I'm not trying to prove it one way or the other. That's for you and Steve to do. I'm just pointing out that your claims are as unproven as his. It's just your word against his. Nothing more. Uh oh...that was rationality, Jim...You'll confuse the old man. Why bother with all your foolish word games in here? Typing practice. Spelling practice. Logic practice. Plus it's mildly amusing. I kinda see it like watching a puppy chase his tail...Only I can't figure out if Lennie is the puppy or the tail. Are you that hard up for something to do? Not me. Obviously *you* are, though... Sounds to me like Lennie just wants everyone to shut up, get in line behind him, and don't do anything HE doesn't do! Bye. Off. Sounds like a veiled command for me to shut up. At least you won't call me a "feldwebel". I am sure Lennie wouldn't have known what it was if not for "Stalag 17". 73 Steve, K4YZ |

Right behind HIS apology to this NG for years of lying, accusing, deceiving and antagonism, Brian...Right behind! Just hold your breath and wait! Steve, K4YZ Well, well. So much for your "strength of conviction." Lennie is YEARS BEHIND coming clean on his errors, lies and deceit, Brian... Y E A R S ! ! ! ! The old, "two wrongs makes a right" defense. I have to disagree. I wasn't implying that you were wrong, only that Robeson views you as wrong, and thusly, he can be as wrong as he needs to be with complete immunity. In they typical liberal fashion, any means to achieve the desired end is "good." Like lying about what ARES needs. Robeson is so caught up in his personal hatred of me that he cannot possibly discuss anything rationally...or even act rationally. He is the constant antagonist of ANYONE who disagrees with him. Indeed. The moron even harangued me for not giving Coslo grief over his aborted near-space balloon project. I was characterized as an antagonist for not exhibiting antagonistic behavio[u]r. Hi. Hi, hi! What an idiot. Case in point is others' opinions. Robeson labels those as "LIES," perhaps even "deceit" even though those are just personal opinions. Like the many other assertions that Robeson makes, they are simply wrong. Apparently, in Stevieworld, only Stevie Robeson has the "truth." Ergo, in the logic of Stevieworld, ALL contrary (to Robeson's) opinions are "LIES" as well as "errors" and "deceit." And so his sickness manifests itself. That's quite sick. Irrational. Opinions are just opinions. Robeson is quite sick, irrational. However, Robeson seems to take everything against his opinions as a "personal attack." He then respond but that response IS a personal attack on his perceived attacker. He hasn't yet learned that such is NOT the way discussions go in our society. He's still having problems figuring out what an antagonist is. Meanwhile, he's got a fan club from the rra.MISC egging him on. On the other hand, if Robeson has been so brainwashed by the remaining amateur radio membership organization that he believes ONLY what they say, then any negative against him is held AS a personal attack. That is NOT the fault of anyone voicing a negative opinion against Robeson's, it is Robeson's fault. Robeson has many faults. You won't do what you know to be right because someone else isn't doing what you know to be right. I AM, repeat AM doing "what's right". Repeating something doesn't make it any more true or false. But in this case, it makes lies #19 and #20. Quite true, but Robeson hasn't learned to communicate with rational people yet. He simply drives home a blunt point that HE IS RIGHT with no proof or other reference that it IS right. That's either a monstrous ego at work there or it can be a curious mixture of the reasons I mentioned just before. Either way, it is not right...to rational people. Nefarious Steve. He could be his own Rap Group. You and Leonard are lairs, Brian. That's a falsehood, a LIE. Robeson's only justification of that is that HE IS RIGHT. It is his antagonist style which is so off-putting to so many...no justification, just the personal insult and LIE combination. Robeson is a liar. You don't tell the truth. YOU make glaring errors, and then when I make a simple one, all of a sudden you think your slates are wiped clean. Robeson's simple LIE-insult in the first quoted sentence is an absolute statement. It is without any presented proof...therefore it is Robeson's OPINION. However, any of Robeson's OPINIONS are - in his communications here - perfectly "right." HE IS RIGHT in Stevieworld. Problem is, everyone else is NOT in Stevieworld (wherever that is). I'm just glad that Ed McMahon didn't knock on my door saying that I won a vacation to Stevieworld. Lessee? 30 hours before Len makes an appearance in one of your demented threads, you're chiding him for disapproving of what you said. Then you have a conversation with a claimed colleague of Len's years and years before you ever heard of Len. Both cases were smear campaigns against Len, and you say you make simple errors??? Sorry...Doesn't work that way. That's right Steve, it doesn't work that way. What you said was an outright lie. Robeson's HATRED and ANGER seem to be overriding any rationality here. Robeson cannot prove the existance of this "fitrep" determiner. He has compounded that by numerous statements, none of which have any proof of truth. [see my previous message on this...] He is an irrational being. Perhaps if he came clean on the seven hostile actions, he could buy a couple of credibility points so sorely needed. Actually, several years ago, Robeson tried the same ploy and embellished that until nearly in the form it was recently. That was unproveable then and his claim is unproveable now. It's the seriousness of the accusation that's important, not the truth in it (or lack thereof). Like his homosexual and pedophilia inuendo. None of this discussion has ANYTHING to do with amateur radio policy. It is just the usual Stevie psychotic activity in here, part of his general misuse of the newsgroup as his own personal "battleground." Robeson doesn't seem capable of acknowledging that he ever does anything wrong. That seems to increase his anger quotient and his personal insults grow to incomprehensible blatherings of Hatred and Anger. Robeson is an EXAMPLE of a modern U.S. Amateur Extra. Unfortunately. Yet most other Extra's on RRAP are good with Robeson's behavio[u]r. Steve farts in church and we're to believe it's incense. Other Amateur Extras seem unable to take any strong action to stop his pollution of all threads in this newsgroup. All threads eventually turn into Robeson's insults of all his "opponents" in any discussion. A few have made negative comments to his style, notably Hans Brakob. Responses to those by Robeson were less than civil and uncomplimentary. bb |

The entire fleet was outfitted with AN/UGC-20 and AN/UGC-25 plus a scattering of AN/UGC-6 teleprinters. These are just different configurations of what civilians would call a "Model 28". The were designed to run at 45.5, 55, and 75 baud (60, 75, and 100 WPM) depending on the gearset installed. Properly maintained and adjusted, they were reliable workhorses at any designed speed. But for years they'd been plodding along at 45.5-baud in the fleet and never been exercised at the higher speed rates. Ships didn't carry gearsets for speeds above 45.5, and even if they did, changing out the gears was not a trivial task, and besides, there were no higher speed signals available to test at those higher speed. But maintenance was uneven, as was the skill level of the repairman. Many ships carried no trained repairman, and the machines only got professional attention during shipyard or tender availability periods (stand-downs for upkeep). These machines have a host of springs/clutches/latches/pivots/adjustments which each of course have design tolerances. Now at 45.5-baud a machine can tolerate some level of "out of tolerance" parts and adjustments and still operate quite satisfactorily. But jump (there's that word again) to 75 baud and all that tolerance creep would result in an inoperative machine, either printing garbage or actually physically failing as out of tolerance parts literally "ran into each other", clutches froze, bearing seized, etc. I know what FOX is and I assume CASREPT is a request for a repeat. CASREPT is "Casualty Report" --- a dreaded notice up the operational chain of command that your ship has some diminished capability to perform. Skippers don't like to send CASREPTs! Good sailors do some heroic things to protect their Skippers from such, including cumshawing a helicopter ride in the middle of the night to carry a sick AN/UGC-20 to the repair shop on a nearby Heavy. Almost as much as a good stewburner (cook) a Captain would do almost anything to get (and keep) a good teletype repairman. 73, de Hans, K0HB |

roups.com... TTY rates jumped from 60 WPM to 100 WPM, Hardly a "jump", Len. More like a slide. I'll have to side with Len on this one. It was a JUMP, not a slide or a slither. When the USN fleet broadcasts shifted to JASON cover (100WPM) from black uncovered (60WPM), estimates are that the TTY casualty rate approached 75%. Machines which had been happily chugging along for years on 60WPM gears literally self-destructed when 100WPM gears were installed. In two experiments on a few circuits over RUAP (the TTY network identifier of messages carried through ADA) of 1955, the various teleprinters were modified with "new gears" to operate at 75 WPM. After three months the downtime on those modified machines quadrupled. Another experiment was tried in 1956 (after I had been sent back to the states) but that modified-existing-machine-type was also a negative- result test. Note: Those circuits were running 24/7 and with backup possible on older 60 WPM stcck machines. The newer 100 WPM teleprinters began to come into operational Army use in the 1960s. See the Model 33s from Teletype Corporation which served both industry and the military quite well for the next two decades. The Army had tried both a punch-card and magnetic card system for message relay in the late 1960s but with mixed success. While higher rates were possible without the strain on P-tape punchers-readers now replaced by cards, those would evolve into the all-electronic message relay systems. USAF did the same. Sorry, can't think of any fancy names applied to any of the land-based systems. :-) Guess it isn't as romantic as what the Navy had with names like ADONIS or JASON (if you like horror that one might be considered "romantic" - :-] ). |

As one who was IN communications for a long time, IN the electronics industry for a long time, HAVE extensive backup literature on communications methods, I'm not "interpreting" anything. - Any attempt to engage Serdar in debate resulted in him insulting others with invectives like "Gum Brain," "Wieneramus," "your Criminal Armenian Grandparents" (even others who were, say, ethnic Japanese), and "A mouthpiece for the fascist x-Soviet Armenian Government." - Any attempt to engage Len in debate results in him insulting others with invectives like "Gunnery Nurse," "Katapult King," "Macho Morsemen," and "A believer in the Church of St. Hiram." AFTER I had been personally insulted a number of ways, i.e., called a "PUTZ," "LIAR," "deceitful," AND had members of my family (alive or dead), especially my wife, insulted in public...I decided to "return fire" in the same way. Civility in opposition to anything I wrote was not "discussion" but a series of personal insults and harrassment actions, both on and off the newsgroup. - While somewhat amusing at first, with posters able to easily rebut Serdar, even writing parodies mocking the overwrought style of the posts, the amusement turned to annoyance when the sheer volume of his posts overwhelmed any on-topic discussion. - While somewhat amusing at first, with posters able to easily rebut Len, even writing parodies mocking the overwrought style of the posts, the amusement turned to annoyance when the sheer volume of his posts overwhelmed any on-topic discussion.

In the past, I've given what was thought to be some examples of communications modes and methods that I was a party to, knew about, or could double-check through disinterested third parties. What I got in response was the usual personal insults for NOT adhering to the "authority" on amateur radio as stated by the ARRL...or NOT adhering to the pet desires of individuals whose personal views were taken as "applying to ALL in amateur radio." [those did not, but that was irrelevant to such posters] - Serdar failed his Turing Test for human intelligence when it became clear that he could not distinguish between Turkey, the country, and Turkey, the meat. For example, his postings went up dramatically in the first two weeks preceding American Thanksgiving, strongly suggesting that the posts were written and posted by some kind of AI or "bot." - Len's sentience, and ability to pass the Turing Test, is left as an exercise for the reader. As a first test, Len is invited to guess my positions on Morse Code. WHAT "Turing Tests" apply in here? Are you implying (which is transparently obvious on reading) that I am some kind of "Artificial Intelligence?" Is everyone required to "pass a test" to perform as a robot and mechanically utter all the quaint "standards" of yesteryear? Are all robots in here "supposed" to obey - without question - what the ARRL commands? Alan Turing was considered a genius at cryptography and methods of attack (solutions to cryptographic problems). Alan Turing was also a homosexual and, when exposed, took his own life. That was long ago. Suddenly, for some odd reason, I am implied as "failing" a "Turing Test" by NOT ACCEPTING old, antiquated standards in an amateur radio hobby activity!?! So be it. I am NOT a robot. I am NOT artificial (all natural ingredients). If there is any "failing" of a "Turing Test," then I would judge the "authority of the newsgroup" to be deficient in handling a public dispute by a technique of mockery and attempts at humiliation. As one who has been IN computer-modem communication for 20 years - not counting sporadic viewing of the old ARPANET and original USENET before that - and as a former co-sysop of one BBS and a moderator on two other BBSs...I find this "technique" of handling certain individuals to be faulty in the extreme. You should give careful thought, using whatever intelligence is there, artificial or not, to closing access from public to private. Select ONLY those who conform to Group Think, who say nice-nice to all the self-defined gurus, and respect the ENTIRETY of U.S. amateur radio customs and traditions, wishing to keep OLD standards forever. CLOSE this place off. Do NOT let any "riff-raff" in. Demand "dedication" and "committment" to old standards, ideas, and (especially) the mythology. Demand "involvement" FIRST...by licensing, something by which "to show papers." Do NOT, under any circumstances, allow the First Amendment Rights of Americans to operate in here. Think of that as the "Orwell Test." It doesn't have the mythological mystique of "Turing Test" but it is nonetheless as artificial. I refuse to meet any "Orwell Test." Have a nice day, Mr. Asimov... |
