Frankly I am surprised you are so offended over his "derogatory remarks",
you all seem so asleep to the real world that short of striking you over
the head with a two-by-four you will remain in this dream-like state.
Positive is not always good, except to "new agers" studying mysticism and
crystals, and I have no time for silliness...

If offended by reality one can always change reality or change
themselves--I have always found the latter more productive.

He (Len) battles a whole klick of you which are functioning like a damn
support group--and you don't let little things like reality, "real world",
sanity and facts get in your way. You all begin your chants of known
mantras and chase the light-weights away!

You all exist in an echo chamber using the echo of your own words as
"valid arguments", or to site "majority agreements."


To be effective in the real world, one does not insult people with
derogatory remarks.

...except in computer-modem communications! :-)

In my profession, I frequently have to convince people
that the new is better than the old.

Hello? What "profession" is that? :-)

I've only been in the electronics profession for...um...53 years
now. Life Member in the IEEE, an international professional
association. Guess that doesn't count, does it? :-)

Is this newsgroup participation a "profession?"

Insults and put downs would get me
thrown out the door and cost me a job. It doesn't get a whole lot more real
than that.

Oh, I think that 53 years of actual professional participation
might agree with you...and also disagree with you. Have you ever
been on both sides of a Design Review meeting? :-)

It takes tact along with accurate and verifiable data to implement new
proposals.

...which doesn't apply to REMOVING an ancient test element for
a radio hobby license. :-)

Where is the "tact" and "accurate and verifiable data" to support
the subjective claims, necessities, nobilities, expertise of
morsemanship for a radio hobby? Ain't there, is it? :-)

The cutting edge people in the real world know this although it
may come as a shock to those in academia.

...which means what? Morsemanship is "cutting edge" comms? :-)

[put the cover back on your jar of academia nuts]

Len does not use tact and does not present accurate and verifiable data.

Tsk. I've used hundreds of tacts to nail your morsemanship to
the carpet and you still think that carpet will fly! :-)

I'd best re-do my PowerPoint files, then?

I'd use Vu-Graphs but your projector's bulb is burned out...
