I suggest that, in a public forum such as this, an individual's
behaviour is a far better indicator of who they are than something as
silly as a callbook listing. Forget claims of education, heroic feats
and braggodocio - just read what the individual writes, and you'll see
the real person shine through. (for example, what were you doing when
you questioned my 'legitimacy' in this thread, Jim - picking yet
another fight with Len? Hmmm - that happens a lot, doesn't it??)

I can almost read the responses to that before he writes
them... :-)

Me too!

Heh heh heh. Some of those responses have already shown up...


Oy gevalt! That will raise the Hue and Cry! :-)

Please don't say "Hue" - you'll raise bad memories of the Tit
Offensive....

Hue said it, Leo...


Please note that Len insists on calling "Arf!" names and comparing
him to Nigerian bank scammers, but does not do the same for
those who agree with him.

"Nigerian?" Did I say specifically "Nigerian?" :-)

You must have - Jim said you did!

Jimmie is nebber Wong.

Gosh, all those NAMES I called Jimmie: James, Jim, Jimmy,
James Miccolis, even just Miccolis. Must be BAD thing!

:-)


Bill Cosby went on to become a beloved comedian in American
TV. Yet the subject matter [our Revolutionary War] was not
a trivial thing when it was fought; England never really
forgave the upstart Colonies for that and the War of 1812
had to repeat the whole process nearly 4 decades later.
England didn't win that war either.

Funny how some folks get all bent out of shape over something as
simple as that. Comedy requires an open mind!

...and a willingness to remain "open" to input.

Some of our contemporaries would have a coronary if tey were to sit
through "Team America - World Police". Catchy soundtrack!

I've never seen that but have heard about it.

One curious thing down here is the almost total "unforgivingness"
of some in the USA's "south" 140 years after LOSING during our
Civil War. They are still waving their Confederate battle
standards and claiming "supremacy." Sore losers...seven
generations after the fact. [I live farther south than nearly
all of the "southerners" in here]


A very remote parallel sort-of exists in here, the PCTA
bravely "fighting" to keep their royal RULE alive, yet are
slowly losing. The much-touted near-Byzantine CLASS
structure of U.S. amateur radio has not been decimated, it
has been cut in HALF. [Roman Legions were never that
severe with their "disciplinary" measures of decimation]
Further, to add insult to their "injury," the beloved
Title/Rank/Status of "20 WPM Tested" was reduced to a
"mere" 5 WPM. [their cold, dead reasoning refuses to
let their mental fingers release their code keys...tsk]
Their "Empire" is falling and they curse the evil "sloth"
in revenge; George Lucas couldn't make a film on this
epic due to too many "Annakin" manmiquins abounding.
[see "Revenge of the Sloth" who want only the "easy way
to get a license...etc, etc, ad nauseum]

Sad, isn't it - Jeez, it's just a hobby!

"Radio" is a rather fascinating field of activity. While not
all find it so, it intrigued me so much I made an abrupt
career choice to make that my work in addition to hobbies.
I found out that MOST of my contemporaries NEVER BOTHERED
with a "ham license" before entering electronics.

To see some of the ham devotees in here, that was "wrong."
I was supposed to "get a ham license FIRST" according to
one...that would "show my dedication to the ham community!"
Er, the "ham community" didn't "recruit" me and didn't
identify themselves individually; they loomed as some giant
spectre in the moral aphorisms of the mighty League. "Do it
THIS way or you'll go blind...'can't I do it until I just
need glasses?'" :-)


Now that AOL has phased out newsgroups, Jim is posting via Google - he
is free to use any name that he chooses.

I think that "His Royal Highness" is already taken... :-(

BTW, have you noticed that since he began posting via Google, his
language has deteriorated significantly (i.e. his posts contain the
word "bulls$%^" quite frequently now - which was quite a rarity in the
past..

Interesting. :-)

I rather like the hypocrisy displayed by others...especially
one who is decidedly not Hebrew nor Central Europe ethnic
who uses a four-letter Yiddish nastyword meaning "penis head."

Many years ago Playboy magazine published a funny, funny
version of "Mother Goose" stories with selective use of
octothorpe [#] "censorship black-outs". An example:

Little Miss Muffet ### on a ######,
Eating ### ##### and ####,
Along came a ##### ... ...and so forth... :-)

Heh, talk about some folks having a coronary...:-)


See my comments in a previous post regarding how true character is
reflected in one's posts.....

Lots of characters in this group grope.

Leo, if you happen to chance upon an AOL screen name of
"Juan Mortime" in the future, that will be me. [pronounce
it to get the pun - mightier than the sword] No doubt that
is, somewhere, already OUTRAGING and INSULTING (!) Spanish
speakers for "unpatriotically defacing Latin customs"
everywhere. Sigh. I have more names plus another Internet
provider. Everywhere one goes we find the anal-retentive
with figurative USB connectors jammed up their I/O ports.

Heh....No problem, Juan - won't bother me a bit!

Juwanna Bet that you'll hear something about that from your - um - fan
club about that?

WHICH "fan club?" :-)

I've found that I must restrict my actions for environmental
reasons. There's so many balloons of hot air here and there
that, though puncturing the gas bags is great fun, releasing
all that hot air may increase global warming!
