That's nice, Len.

But with all due respect, how do we know your scorecard is accurate?

Because he sez it is.

Why should that be good enough, Bill?

Nobody is checking Len's work.

Tsk, tsk, tsk...has anyone checked Jimmie's "work" on his ham
radio license totals? :-)

Jimmie just TAKES OTHERS' NUMBERS and says they are "good." :-)

The ECFS is so set up that ANYONE can go in and check my
numbers, for any given day or for cumulative totals up to
a certain day from any previous day.

Is anyone doing that, Len?

Given the highly polarized subject, it is difficult to be
objective on the subject of amateur radio morse code testing.

I'll take that as admission that you are not objective on the subject.

However, it is plain to see unambiguous opinions which
are posted on the ECFS...on both sides of the code test
issue.

Is anyone checking your numbers, Len?

Yet everyone should accept what he says as fact even though he
doesn't accept what others say if it contradicts his opinions?

Tsk. What I do is VOLUNTARY.

You sure seem obsessed by it, though.

As I've said in here, ANYONE can go ahead and read each and
every Comment made since 15 July 2005 on WT Docket 05-235
and do their own statistical summaries...day by day if they
want.

We all know that, Len.

Nobody is stopping anyone from posting.

Has anyone tried to stop you from posting here, Len? Has anyone told
you to "shut the hell up"?

As of 2 PM EDT, there were 2558 filings made on WT Docket
05-235. All are visible to anyone accessing the FCC site.

Jim, in all honesty, if you doubt the
accuracy of Len's reports, please go thru the 2500+
comments and give us a readout of your own analysis.

Suppose I did, and came up with different results than Len.

Suppose you GET STARTED? :-)

Do you think he'd accept my scorecard as accurate because I say it is?

Why? You are hardly an "unbiased observer." :-)

Or would his reaction be somewhat different?

Jimmie, you MUST stop imagining these alternate universes of
yours. In order to "prove" what you postulate (or pustulate)
you must GET STARTED in reading each and every of the 2558
Comments and present them. So far you've not done that.

Not only that, but NOT ONE of those 2558 filings was done by
James Miccolis!

Imagine that...an important issue in U.S. amateur radio license
regulations and the self-styled guru of amateurdom hasn't posted
a single Comment or Reply to Comments on WT Docket 05-235 by
13 October 2005...with the NPRM appearing to the public on 20
July 2005! [released on 15 July and appearing in the ECFS
according to the date-stamp shown on the first page of their
single 15 July 2005 filing] Tsk, two and a half months now
and Jimmie hasn't said anything to the FCC directly...but has
been in here negatively criticizing all who are against the
code test!

Better hurry. The official cutoff date for Comments is only
two weeks away. The official cutoff date for Replies to
Comments is four weeks away.

Like it or not, history in United States amateur radio is being
made while you sit in here and attack all those who are against
your opinions on just about anything. :-)

Gee, Len, you've just shown once again how predictable your behavior
here really is.

Yes.

Who checks YOUR numbers on all those bimonthly USA ham license
numbers you post? :-)

doesn't accept what others say if it contradicts his opinions?

Tsk. What I do is VOLUNTARY.

Methodical, not "obsessed." Not near as "obsessed" as YOU
are in attempting character assassination of anyone speaking
out against your opinions in here... :-)

Is THAT all you can come up with? Tsk, tsk.

United States amateur radio history is happening NOW. We are all
(well, most) in the NOW, not living in some idealized past.

Am I "predictable" on living NOW and being a part of history?
If so, I admit it. That is REALITY. That is LIFE. I like it.

All those Comments and Replies to Comments will be on file with
the FCC in their Reading Room long after a final R&O on the NPRM
is issued. It isn't ephemeral like some Google archive. All
Comments will be there and on public view at the FCC. Official
stuff. It's not some fantasy playground where you can play at
lording it over others in a newsgroup. It's "put up or shut up"
time, Jimmie. One or the other.
