Long time subscriber saying adios....

When the BS outweighs practical communication, the longtimers vacate.

Those of you who bemone the rise of ebay have destroyed the alternative
with your whining and petty bickering. Good job!

Just take a little vacation.
Noise is simply a problem to deal with. Perhaps we should add another
Q code, QBS!
When I first got on the air with a very shakey rig I heard someone
call "CQ CQ no LIDS KIDS or SPACE CADETS" and I realized that not all
HAMS would live up to my expectations.

Filters are your friends both on the radio and the internet.

I know what you're both saying is true. Since ham radio has been dumbed
down I'm hearing a lot more Lids, Kids, and space cadets on the ham bands
too and radio's don't come with Lid filters. We need to keep CW and
increase the speed requirement to somewhere 13 and 20 wpm. We can't risk
dumbing down the service further.

Tnx, 73, Good luck in the contest.

Can't happen because it's not P.C. (politically correct). Would you want to
be guilty of discrimination against retarded CBers? Hell no! So chill,
dude.

Definition of Political Correctness:

A doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical liberal minority, and
rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous old media, which holds forth the
proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the
clean end.

I agree! But you can't fight the liberal faggot tide, just relax and enjoy
the PC ass-****in.

Hmmmmmmmmm

Not unlike what Katie Couric and Matt Lauer do on a daily basis. Or, for
that matter, what CBS, NBC, ABC, and CNN do daily.
When a Republican goes awry, the Media plasters it on Page One. When a
drunken Democrat does so, the Media lauds the Democrat for "getting help"
and calls it a "Courageous Step."
Chappaquiddick, anybody? Mary Jo Kopechne ring any bells?
Now, when it comes to "picking up a turd by the clean end", which end would
that put Senator Kennedy on?
