Well, I didn't come here to make any friends, they bother me not... I
don't think we need be standing on pomp and circumstance in these times... My skin is about as thick as ones can get, and I darn well know how to call a spade a spade--still deal with jr college kids two nights a week... these old guys aren't anything next to them... Warmest regards, John wrote in message oups.com... From: John Smith on Jun 8, 10:16 pm Yes, that is correct... and probaby only 1/5 of THOSE 4/5 will bother with the ARRL... John John, Hans just doesn't understand. When he gets like that he is extremely touchy-grouchy. Regardless, the League still doesn't have but about 1 out of every 5 U.S. amateur radio licensees as members. The League can't seem to "raise" that much. A couple years ago they got to about 23%, then it fell off. "K0HB" wrote in message news 
wrote Haynie has said that a "survey" showed fully 1 in 5 hams actually got on the air? Dammit Len, your reading comprehension really is badly deteriorated. See a specialist quickly. Tsk, tsk, master super chief of all. Didn't you notice a little QUESTION MARK I put at the end of my sentence? You quoted it and STILL didn't see it! YOUR problem, not mine. Read it again and RECOGNIZE the punctuation. Sigh. What Haynie said was that the survey revealed that "more than one-fifth of new amateur licensees never get on the air." Go uncork a fifth and go for stupor-ville, mighty super master chief. You will feel better...but not in the morning. Good luck on this one, now... |

.... still the problem is denied, still the problem goes on--still the
Alzheimer's victims are as in denial, puzzled and generally incompetent at begin a help... .... so the hobby goes on led by ancient old men babbling war cries constructed of ill formed logic... .... meantime, status quo remains level... some here will die never realizing there is a problem--but then--we knew that from the start... John "John Smith" wrote in message ... You would think the ARRL high priest would not abandon these guys--times must be tough... http://www.arrl.org/news/stories/2004/05/22/1/?nc=1 John -- Watching the cutting edge of yesterday replay--in virtual reality, right before my eyes--in real time!

bb:
Pray tell, you mean the "newer christians" can't read--so remain ignorant to the passages which speak of wine and caution of consuming too much? But, do encourage one to partake in a moderate fashion? Or, have they torn those pages out of the bible, much in the same way gays have torn out the pages calling homosexuality an abomination? Yanno, we used to have mental heath facilities where there were able to help these people... Warmest regards, John "bb" wrote in message ups.com...
