If you had to use CW to save someone's life, would that person die? - Mark, Just ignore them.

Klein, you said you were an OF. Any olde-fahrt ought to KNOW that silver-mica capacitors were color-dot-coded for about a quarter century. [look in the 1976 ARRL Handbook] Those flat cases were eventually displaced by dipped silver-mica. Paper tubular capacitors in molded plastic tubular casings were marked with color bands and were on the market for at least 15 years, maybe 20...until aced out by ceramic disc capacitors for general bypassing and coupling applications (by both tube and transistor architecture electronics). ANYONE with hands-on experience in electronics between 1950 and about 1970 would KNOW that. [okay, folks, looks like there's another imposter here...at least this one isn't trying to pass hisself off as some marine NCO...:-) Try reading what I wrote. Tsk, Klein, you don't write enough to read. I'm not the one who misread "capacitors didn't *ESCAPE* getting color coded" for "capacitors didn't *GET* color coded" - YOU DID! Nice attempt at misdirection, but a very old technique. :-) That sort of misdirection is puerile (meaning childish). If you have some bona fides on English grammar and some false idea that ALL must be literal with NO departure from such literalness, please state them. Otherwise go into auto-fornication mode since we ain't buyin that, homie. :-) Let's reprise. First you state that capacitors were never color coded. You got called on that and corrected by more than myself. Secondly, you've never admitted being wrong or corrected. Third, you try to (badly) convince others that those who corrected your statement are "wrong" or "at fault." Amazing. You make mistakes and then try to convince all that those mistakes never happened or that it is "wrong" to try to correct your mistakes! :-) who that we know does that Sound Like Len remind you of a certain exMarine we know and loathe It's a "sort-of" reminder, Mark, but let's clear up something: I don't personally "loathe" this "exmarine." That person isn't worth much in here, always insulting those who just disagree with his viewpoint. It's not possible to have any sort of dialogue with Major Dud. :-) It's pretty much the same with all the self-righteous, ultra- conservative (about the code test) pro-coders. Sigh. As to Klein, all he seems to want in here is to FIGHT. In that regard he is a clone of Robeson and first cousin to several others in here. He is too haughty to correspond with anyone who disagrees with him. Perhaps someone once jammed an IC above his arm? He has been going around "with a chip on his 'shoulder'" ever since... :-) Mark, Just ignore them. They only tease you because of the stupid things you say when you follow up. Just ignore them and they'll give up. Stop giving them reasons to tease you. It only makes you look more stupid. Take a break from the radio groups for a while, Maybe work on your moon bounce some more. SC |
