Time for the _REAL_ Radio Ham to make a stand?
 
I wonder why it is, that having revealed that you are an
adult associated with scouting, that all your contributions
to Usenet have been rather silly and childish, such as the
childish outburst below?

Is there a general concern that the populace of Britland
should have about adults who are associated with childrens'
organisations and who go out of their way to seek association
with children?

I think that it is important that we do not fall into the
trap of equivocating over the term, "Novice" - the Novice
licence as it existed in Yankland in those days was
a more advanced technical and constructional standard
than the Novice Licence that ever existed in Britland and
the "Birth Certificate" that is the M3/CB Fools' Licence.

I admired the old US licensing regime with the advanced licence requiring
20wpm......I had a blind American friend K1HBJ/GM5BKJ and 20 wpm was no
problem to him.....but those days have passed and all is lost.....

You might not be familiar with the 'fettled casting' incident on
uk.rec.models.engineering a couple of years or so ago.

An amazing thread, concerning a casting bought at a show, which at
some point was fettled.

The complianant - no prizes! - exhibited a strange approach to
Customer Relations, allegedly faulty goods, returns policies, consumer
law, etc, but also kept changing his name in the thread. The reasons
can only be guessed at, but one result is to avoid kill filters.

The day's expenses were £25 petrol, £8-50 entry, £126 for the kit; 7
hours driving for the round trip.

However, in the end the 7.5 lb casting wound up in the dustbin, as the
OP couldn't be bothered to take it to the PO to send it off for a
refund. And this is the guy who complained of a University employee
wasting taxpayers money by sending an email three minutes after cop,
and which therefore must have been written during works time. The VC
appears to have told him to combine sex and travel (or words to that
effect).

The fettled casting incident can be found here; pour yourself a scotch
or three and enjoy the tortured logic:

Lol, that was great! How inept can you get? I especially liked:

"You are mind-boggling in your sheer and utter moronic stupidity - even
a ten year old kid knows to take his gameboy back to the shop if it
doesn't work. "

A prefect analysis of Gareth Evans, if ever I saw one!

Copied to Blackgates for their amusement.

A gem I remember from that incident was his statement that 'any Company
that operates a Returns Department admits to selling shoddy goods'!
You couldn't make it up!

I guess!

Oh dear, he has a serious reality problem (but we all know that). The thread
was that amusing its been posted to several radio forums, complete with his
contact information.

That wasn't the only thread on the topic. Try the opening post of this
thread; it's an incisive poem (how appropriate!) written by Stephen
Howard:
