Rickmers, your mind is a ghetto.

Or bent over and spread too wide?

I really have to thank you for starting this thread. I don't think I've
received this much mileage out of anything previous!

It has not escaped notice that you have become one of the more
responsible contributors to the shortwave newsgroup. I've been
following rrs for nearly 15 years and have never seen it so near death
for such an extended period of time as it currently is.

As you know, the destruction was done by a relatively few number of
individuals (the group has never recovered from RHF's i.e. Roy Fisk,
relentless campaign of changing the subject heading of every shortwave
related post to sabotage the thread. Consequently rrs was rendered
nearly useless as an archived resource for shortwave information.

Frankly, I don't see it ever recovering to the former days of
excellence but hope springs eternal. So thank you for at least keeping
rec.radio.shortwave on life support while serious shortwavers hope
for its resurrection. Your efforts are very commendable.

So they want to shine us on, eh? ;-)

Your sentiment above might carry a little more weight if you tell the
unknowing who Smedley Butler was...

Smedley Darlington Butler (July 30, 1881 – June 21, 1940), nicknamed
"The Fighting Quaker" and "Old Gimlet Eye", was a Major General in the
U.S. Marine Corps and, at the time of his death, the most decorated
Marine in U.S. history. During his 34 years of service, Butler was
awarded 16 medals, five of which were for heroism. He is one of only 19
people to be twice awarded the Medal of Honor, one of three to be
awarded a Marine Corps Brevet Medal and a Medal of Honor, and the only
person to be awarded the Brevet Medal and a Medal of Honor for two
different actions. [from Wikipedia.org]

So, an anti-war statement coming from a guy that made his living in the
military puts a little different twist on it, eh?

I have an old Reader's Digest book here which I bought years and years
ago at a Goodwill store. http://www.shopgoodwill.com One
of the articles in the book is about Prelude to World War Two Pearl
Harbor.I don't remember if that is the exact title of the article, I
would have to dig out that book and look.Maybe the article is titled
Operation Hawaii, whatever.It is a Very interesting read.
