Well, my 7 yr. old lass made five QSO's today during Kid's Day, two of
them were CW contacts. So QSL cards go out today for the "young'un" who
managed to practice enough over the past few weeks to pound out my call,
her name, favorite color, age, QTH and wrap it up with a not-too-shabby
73. (I helped w/her copy tho.)

I couldn't have asked for a better Father's Day gift.

Absolutely marvelous. That is a wonderful thing.

Today millions, if not close to a billion, or more, children accessed
the internet. They accessed data in a range too large to describe--they
instant messaged and chatted with children on every continent of the
globe... literally without barriers...

.... the amount of knowledge entering young minds is staggering to the
consciousness ... and this is progress at its' finest... radio pales
in what it has done to offer such opportunities and advantages and feels
it has no obligations or responsibilities to move in such productive
directions--or, at least the "high priests" in control at this time
do...

Warmest regards,
John

Wonder why we aren't supprised that top-posting johnnyboy would find a
way to attempt to discredit a ham with his 7 year old enjoying radio.
Johnnyboy, with the way you seem to hate ham radio and those who
participate, why don't you just turn in your license and go back to the
'freeband'?

They can't do both ?????? ie computers and radio .....


... the amount of knowledge entering young minds is staggering to the
consciousness ... and this is progress at its' finest..


Maybe but a better answer would come from someone 50 years from now ...
perspective you know .....

.. radio pales
in what it has done to offer such opportunities and advantages and feels
it has no obligations or responsibilities to move in such productive
directions--


John perhaps you could fill us in on what you have done to furthur your
concept of this service to younger people .. I hope you have had some young
ones over the house to see your station ....or given a talk to the Scouts
....or been involved with the local club for a no-code course.





or, at least the "high priests" in control at this time
do...

Warmest regards,
John



OK John you have finally convinced me ...I am going outside with the bolt
cutters and take down my antenna ...I will put all 5 rigs on E-Bay tomorrow
.... while I am at it all my radio tools and parts will go also ....same goes
with all my radio books I have collected throughout the years as they are
now obsolete .... the keys will be melted down into paperweights ..... the
3k plus that went into a new radio room will be turned into a storage area
....... all radio software will be deleted .......Now at last my mind is
free to get on the internet to read spam, delete porno and listen to your
mindless pontifications on this "new protocol".

73 oh wait no ...... see you on this group ......

KI3R oh wait ........ I need to get a new internet handle ....... and
burn my vestments .... but wait I am not in control .....

If you want respect, say or do something that deserves respect.

My post is a statement of fact--no attack, it would only feel like that
to someone who had some personal interests in mind...

You don't say how many *you* have parented, Len.


Ah, but I DID!

It's just a simple question, Jimmie: HOW MANY CHILDREN HAS
JIMMIE MICCOLIS PARENTED?



We'll just put YOU down as ZERO. Tsk, tsk.


Where have I claimed to be "in electronics", Len?


In this newsgroup.

Tsk, tsk, Jimmie no say where he work or for whom.

Jimmie not work at all?


You're not "professional" at all, Len.


Tsk, tsk. I work for money. Dat called "professional." :-)


Do you tell folks
at the IEEE to "shut the hell up, you little USMC feldwebel"?


Tsk, tsk, Jimmie, getting all mixed up in quotes.

Kolonel Klunk was called a feldwebel.

Jimmie know what means by "feldwebel?" Jimmie ignorant slut.
"Feld" is field in English. "Webel" is a very old military
term for "underofficer" or, in English, NCO.

Jimmie write in here dat "feldwebel" is a "corporal." Not
so. Jimmie WRONG. Jimmie not ever admit he WRONG.

Still waiting for you to confront Mr. Powell - the one you called
"Mikey". Oh wait, he's not part of FCC anymore.


Mikey Powell GONE, Jimmie. Got confronted, go bye-bye.

Mikey in "undisclosed location?" Hiding where all WMDs are
stored?

Ask Donnie Rumsfeld where Mikey Powell, Jimmie. Ask nice.
Not ask nice and shrub will INVADE YOU!

How many children Jimmie Miccolis parent?

It pains me to even acknowledge you--but I pity you and your juvenile
attempts at gaining attention... even to the point of provoking negative
acknowledgements...

Poor Len. He is of the opinion that he has something worthwhile to add to
this group. He must be lonely.

The fact of the matter is that aside from my comment to him, all others are
ignoring him.

Len, you at least deserve credit for trying, but your caustic barbs are
going ignored. Your wordy attempts at humor are, well, just that. Attempts.

And I highly dislike answering your posts Len, because by responding to you,
you feel that any response, good or bad, lends credence to your inane
drivel.

I will do what others have done, Len. I will killfile your posts henceforth.
Your babble is no longer entertaining and has indeed become rather tedious
to read. You cannot say in three sentences that which you prefer to say in
several paragraphs.

Your posts have become boring, Len. Boring.


Better luck next time, Len.

In case you haven't noticed, Len, I don't give out that
sort of information on Usenet.

Nope. You used that phrase.

Kolonel Klunk


Who is "Kolonel Klunk"?

was called a feldwebel.

Jimmie know what means by "feldwebel?"


It means "corporal" in German.


Jimmie ignorant slut.


Very "professional", Len.

"Feld" is field in English. "Webel" is a very old military
term for "underofficer" or, in English, NCO.

Jimmie write in here dat "feldwebel" is a "corporal."


In German, that's the word.

Randy's got the right idea.
