Hmmm - probably because I am! ...... ![]() Nice to see you again, Leo! Of course, you have to realize definitions in here are tangential to the Real World. Agreed - a parallel dimension, of sorts.... ![]() Several years ago I compared some of the attitudes in here to old "Twilight Zone" and "Outer Limits" TV shows. Must have their antennae out too far from their scalps... :-) If you are FOR morse code testing by administrations, you are "legitimate." If you are against morse code testing then you are "illegitimate," "in error," "mistaken," "are a lying penis-head" and have underarm odor. Heh! or worse..... ![]() Tsk, ain't it awful? :-) Poor Jimmie is all upset by "my name-calling." He is sorely wounded. I've called him names like James, Jimmy, Jimmie and he is all a-twitter over those "insults." Tsk, tsk, he must have thought those are equivalent to "gutless lying coward", a term used often by another PCTA Extra in addition to "PUTZ." Maybe I'll just refer to James as "Your Exhalted Highness" and he will immediately understand that it does mean His High (and Mighty) Holiness! :-) Yup, yup, there's a very REAL PCTA Double Standard in here. These "radio experts" (all through an ability at rapid morse code) seem to have NO experience with the new lead-free "solder" which is starting to give electronics production lines some very real problems with tin dendrites or "whiskers." [dendrites form out of lead-free solder long after assembly and can grow to short out traces on PCBs] Apparently not one of the morsemen (might and macho though they may be) KNOW about this as part of RoHS. So, a master super chief calls a play on words nasty things. TOMB OF THE UNKNOWN SOLDER is a many-level little diatribe. First, on this lead-free solder according to RoHS rules. Second, on our beloved "critic" and self-appointed, self- styled Raddio Kopp - the Avenging Angle of Dearth. Third, on all the emotion-only image dwellers who get too overwrought by "approved" stylized patriotic phrases and Want To KILL (or otherwise do nasty to) all those who do not knee-jerk to THEIR "approved" patriotism. Actually, those in the third group are hypocrites, taking advantage of the medium to be much more than they really are. Their "patriotism" is primarily for themselves, as they can "be all that they (wish to) be" in a terrible parody-travesty of the U.S. Army recruiting phrase. On entering the U.S. military, recruits are sworn in and promise to "defend the Constitution of the United States." Too many in here have substituted ARRL for the United States. Defending the Constitution of the ARRL (probably with their lives, if needs be) is NOT national patriotism, no matter how they rage. [anyone can be anything in this medium...and many are! :-)] I'm not at all sure of what some of the cross-dressing anony- mousies are in here. They may have been tossed off some porn sites catering to "amateurs" and are confused as to content in here... :-) Wherever they came from, they've sure been wreaking havoc in here lately! Seems to have quieted down a bit in the last few weeks, though. Ask "Quitefine," the nom de pheume of James Miccolis. "Pheume" is an aliteration, another play on words, a mixture of 'plume' and 'fume' and 'phew.' :-) Screum. ..................................... -- The correctness of the original opinion is directly proportional to the length of the attempted rebuttal |
