Many of us have sent him our congratulations. What do you mean "we?" You wouldn't have known about an IEEE election without a notice from an IEEE member. YOU are NOT an IEEE member. Mouse. Pocket. Notice that Jimmie worded his sentence about "congratulations" to NOT SPECIFICALLY SAY that J. P. Miccolis congratulated him. Gives the impression, the implication that he did without committing his name to some "fact." WE don't know where or what YOUR "professional" electronics activity is/involves. You could be taking lessons from Dudly the Imposter. Speaks as an authority on space science, Has trouble with distance to the moon. Jimmie has lots of troubles. Like telling EXACTLY what he does for a living as a "professional." I thought it terribly IRONIC that long-time radio amateur Carl Stevenson, WK3C, who WAS REFUSED A NOMINATION FOR OFFICE AT THE ARRL (an AMATEUR organization), managed to not only GET ON a ballot of the IEEE (a PROFESSIONAL association), and WIN! :-) Not ironic at all. WRONG. INCORRECT. The standards of amateurism are different. Ask Jim Thorpe. Dead a long time ago. Do you talk to the dead?!? Other than the BoD that is... Why would an atheist think he could talk to the dead? Reminds me of Steve's recent attempt to talk to W0EX. Dudly the Imposter can do ANYTHING. He just hasn't gotten around to claiming everything yet... :-) Carl had more than enough signatures on his nomination papers. But the Executive Committee that decides such matters though there was a conflict of interest between his professional duties and being an ARRL Director, and declared him ineligible to run. That decision was not reversed by the BoD. We've all seen your parroting of ARRL-is-god spin in here before on that matter. Put a cork in it and go to your seance. Ask Jim Fixx. He'll blow right by Jim Fixx and got straight to Hiram. Jim got clout. Heh hehe. Last time I mentioned "Jim Fixx," Jimmie did NOT seem to know who that person was. Fixx was an author of at least one best-selling book on RUNNING. Claimed it "prevented heart problems." Fixx died while running, of a heart attack. Ironic. Some members of ARRL, particularly in the Atlantic Division, did not agree with that decision, and made their disagreement known to the BoD, the other officers of ARRL, and anybody else involved. Those efforts to get him on the ballot were, unfortunately, not successful. One cannot argue with the dead. One cannot argue with morsemen. Hard to tell the difference there... If the hierarchy of ARRL doesn't want someone anywhere close to their entrenched POWER, that's it. In 2003 Dave Sumner pulled down an annual salary of $137,558 plus $9,239 in Benefits plus $7,829 in "expenses." [source: ARRL federal income tax returns for 2003 filed in 2004] Not bad for being an executive vice president and "secretary." That's higher than most managers in the electronics industry. It's understandable that such would be very protective of their income. In 2003 ARRL had 23 paid positions making over $50,000 a year. Only 10 of those were listed on the IRS returns for 2003. Not bad for a supposedly altruistic membership organization of only 145 thousand members supposedly "representing" all 700+ thousand United States radio amateurs. Like they make "no profit" from their many books and other publications... If ARRL loses membership, loses sales, well, there goes the income. "It's all about the money with them" might fit as Jimmie likes to put it... btw, it is interesting to note the name of Carl's firm. Why? Because he has one and you do not? Jimmie probably thinks amateur radio terms are somehow "copyrighted" and MUST NOT EVER be used in business. Sort of like "QST," "CQ," "73," and "W5YI Group." Jimmie now preparing to argue that I am "mistaken." ARRL "invented" the Q-code QST...73 went out of business, W5YI Group "doesn't like morse code" (they teach it anyway). Don't know what Jimmie will call "CQ" since they are a magazine competitor to QST...but he will no doubt say they are "lower class" or something like that... You know damn well that Carl got tossed off the nomination sheet due to his being Executive Director of No Code International. ARRL doesn't want no-coders. ARRL wants only those "acceptible" to the BoD hierarchy. ARRL has a VIRTUAL monopoly on United States amateur radio publications. Has had that for years. Beautiful vehicle for conditioning the thinking of United States radio amateurs. George Orwell coined the term "big brother." That fits the ARRL too. |

Your reading comprehension is a bad as ever, Len. WRONG. It is excellent. Jimmie, YOUR MISTAKE was using vague adjectives as descriptors. "Many of us" does NOT specifically include YOU. You know that very well. Or did, once the Nuns spanked your knuckles. Try as you might, you aren't going to win message points by manufacturing falsehoods or even brags about your writing ability, the ones where you CLAIM to have said something when you OBVIOUSLY did NOT do so. Then let me say it another way: I and many others sent him our congratulations. Prove that. Prove the number of "many others." Did you get a "group hug" together or what? :-) Is that clear enough for ya? Not really. All you've done is just more MISDIRECTION, trying to avoid having obvious errors pointed out to you by saying someone else "did wrong." Now HOW DID YOU KNOW Carl was elected to anything? :-) Don't give us some fogware bull**** about "you knew." The results of the IEEE election were sent by private e-mail to IEEE members on the same day as I posted the results. You are NOT an IEEE member. I am a Life Member of the IEEE. I will not expect any cogent answer from you. I will expect some more fogware bull**** saying that *I* did something "wrong" ("wrong" according to YOUR standards). |

Gosh you're all upset and overwrought, Len. Then let me say it another way: I and many others sent him our congratulations. Prove that. Prove the number of "many others." Why? You won't accept it anyway. Did you get a "group hug" together or what? :-) Is that clear enough for ya? Not really. All you've done is just more MISDIRECTION, trying to avoid having obvious errors pointed out to you by saying someone else "did wrong." Now HOW DID YOU KNOW Carl was elected to anything? :-) I found out. Don't give us some fogware bull**** about "you knew." Fogware bull**** is your specialty, Len. You're the acknowledged expert on that subject. The results of the IEEE election were sent by private e-mail to IEEE members on the same day as I posted the results. I knew on November 7. You are NOT an IEEE member. I am a Life Member of the IEEE. Well bully for you, Len. You are NOT a radio amateur. I am an Amateur Extra class radio amateur, and have been since 1970. Game, set, match. I will not expect any cogent answer from you. You don't give "cogent answers", Len. By the way, when WK3C was trying to get on the ballot for ARRL Director from the Atlantic Division, there were a number of people who tried to get the ARRL BoD and Executive Committee to allow him to run. Guess who some of those people were. |

Miccolis is becoming a clone of Dudly the Imposter! Tsk, everyone ELSE "makes mistakes," Jimmie doesn't. Jimmie, YOUR MISTAKE was using vague adjectives as descriptors. "Many of us" does NOT specifically include YOU. Yes it does. Tsk..."many of us" doesn't say anything specific at all. What does/do "us" refer to? How many is "many?" :-) I and many others sent him our congratulations. Prove that. Prove the number of "many others." Why? You won't accept it anyway. Jimmie: "Waaaa...waaaa...big bad Len don't accept it!" :-) Now HOW DID YOU KNOW Carl was elected to anything? :-) I found out. Tsk...how did you "find out?" Someone sent you a morse code message on 40 meters? :-) You had your crystal ball plugged in and saw the news? :-) Don't give us some fogware bull**** about "you knew." Fogware bull**** is your specialty, Len. You're the acknowledged expert on that subject. Tsk, tsk, tsk...Jimmie say NON-specifics with NO answers, and is uncivil on top of that. :-) Let me repeat, HOW did you FIND OUT? The results of the IEEE election were sent by private e-mail to IEEE members on the same day as I posted the results. I knew on November 7. HOW did you FIND OUT? You are NOT an IEEE member. I am a Life Member of the IEEE. Well bully for you, Len. [a decided lack of sincerity there...:-) ] You are NOT a radio amateur. I am an Amateur Extra class radio amateur, and have been since 1970. I am a radio professional. I was granted a First Class Radiotelephone (Commercial) radio operator license in 1956 and kept it renewed. I've been a professional in radio since 1953, beginning with HF communictions. I've been a hobbyist in electronics as well, beginning in 1947. Still am. BTW, "electronics" INCLUDES radio. Radio is a subset within all of electronics. Have you been an editor of an amateur radio specialty publication? I was an Associate Editor at Ham Radio magazine. [look on the mastheads] Jimmie say I have "smallest johnson ever made." Not nice. My johnson all natural ingredients, not manufactured. Game, set, match. Tsk, tsk, why are you quoting a Len Deighton novel trilogy? Is/was author Len Deighton a UK or Irish radio amateur? I will not expect any cogent answer from you. You don't give "cogent answers", Len. Tsk, you don't give good question, Jimmie. You don't give good answer. Jimmie just not good. Jimmie want answers that please him. Too bad you not get them. Tsk. |

But here we have Len manufacturing a "slight" and displaying his patented umbrage in order to perpetuate his "victim of Morse users" status again. So unfortunate that his facts were in disarray and he stands as a victim of his own petulance. Tsk, tsk. The Man in the Maze QRV from Baboquivari Peak |
