I realize this code test issue is a bit like shooting fish in a barrel at this point, but I learned it as BRASS rather than BASS. ;-) Heyo, John, off the subject but "BASS" was Breath-Aim-Sight-Squeeze acronym in the U.S. Army of the 1950s. If you search through past posts of Stebie da Wundermurine (K4YZ) you will find his implied "threat" of "a few ounces of pressure" which was, of course, in reference to the squeezing of a trigger. Did Steve ever admit what was so obvious to everyone else? Hence my remark that you quoted. :-) In his emotional volatility he forgot to look to see if anyone could shoot back, hence his continuing anger and frustration at those who CAN and DARE to do such a thing! :-) gun sit That is a guaranteed inevitability. Instead of the neighbors saying, "he was such a nice man," they'll be saying, "I knew the VA should have kept him on his meds." |

Some of us DO but, when messaging to unbalanced, unfair folks, it is rather difficult... :-) Difficult, but not insurmountable. Remember, compassionate no-codism serves both faith-based modes as well as all of the other modes. I sort of draw the line at the cretin who shouts, "God is for morse code testing and morse code!!!" So what's Steve been up to while I was camping with the BSA? The usual... :-) that and I have have found myself breaking into song on the repeater stuff like that Stop right there. Even the slightest upturn at the corner of your mouth might be mistaken as gloating. [only the NCTA are allowed to gloat... :-) ] Openly. Feels rather good. Time to turn things around now and let all the coders have it as those smug, arrogant, "superior" types have acted for the half century I've observed them. :-) Nah. Let's just press on and accept them as the red-headed step-children that they are. Definitely spare the rod and Spoil those brats. Spoil the brats?!? Not the Johnsonville brats...they're the wurst! Heh heh. Expect the ARRL to get in on the act, maybe the "Pro-coder Compassion Supporter (or Truss?) Fund" or some title like that... With Carl in the ARRL, all things are possible. Carl ANDERSON? Yeah, right, just like Brain Kallie to make nastynoises. :-) If I had been three or four decades older, I might have wet myself over that one. Hi! Heheheheheheheheheh...... On the ARRL's "poll" for 5 Aug 05 and an opinion on NPRM 05-143, of the 9,484 votes cast: 48.5% said it was a fine idea, 47.1% said it was a terrible idea, and 4.4% had no particular opinion either way. Looks like a concensus. Those numbers were flipped when we were told that we had to keep the code. [whut yu mean "we," white man?] [Tonto not hear dat...] NCTA super-extras like Jimmie Noserve will come out with the standard disclaimer that the website poll is "not scientific." Yet he never, ever, ever, commented on Mike Deignan's comments that the ARRL poll was "substantive." Hi! What a goose turd. You're RIGHT! Slipped my mind...but then it was long ago...:-) They are so forking predictable that one doesn't have to think twice about what kind of rationalizations they write. You know what they're going to say before they say it. EXTRAcept when they goof up, Like Jim/N2EY did when he said that a code exam would be a barrier to code use! Hi! It always was!!! Hi, hi! Where was he when they were passing out Greenlee Punch? Good old Greenlee Punch! I grew up in the city were that is made! It's so refreshing on a hot day...just pull up a blank chassis and punch away! :-) Nah...let's just pick up the 2x4s and beat them over the head with the issue...just like they used to do it to no-coders in the last 50 years or so. I think they deserve it... :-) Please, no. Remember that compassionate no-codism is tolerant of faith-based modes. Geez...TUFF requirement! Not even a little 1x1 piece of oak? Difficult. One SO wants to get a Hasty sling, a good sight picture, BASS, and apply just a few ounces of pressure... Whadda hell Steve doing here? Hehehehehehehehehe...some "recon marine" he are...didn't do a recon to see who he's up against... ):- It's my "insidious plan," Brian. I yank out Stebie's phrases and wait for his inevitable "IT'S A LIE!" shouting...then just point to his own words used against him. Heh heh heh heh. There's "compassion" on the prarie, the badlands, and the great West for horses that can't make it. A gun or a knife solves their problems, provides time-tested "compassion." So it is with the coders. They can't make it without that TEST...so we should "do the right thing" and end their suffering. Suffering is good for them. I think they call it Martyrdom. Okay, I'll go along with them suffering. Hmmm...from Major Domo to Martyr Dumb...has a ring to it... If the dit don't fit, you cannot convict. EXCELLENT turn of phrase! Love it! fit dit |

I learned it as BRASS: Breathe-Relax-Aim-Sight-Squeez?e.
John, unload and secure your weapon. This be the rec.radio.twilight.zone (see signpost up ahead?). Compassionate no-codism frowns on violins in this din of inequity cum musical chairs chorus. Compose yourself. Orchestrate a new outlook. Or fiddle around with radio. At your rhythm. hup too |
