TinyTenna Anonymous - We're here to help.
 
I think it's time for a Twelve Step program in rrs. And it's not going
to be just for those of you who are negatively obsessed with me, my
product or my business. But those of you who SUPPOSEDLY support me, my
product or my business...and then start up these trolls every couple of
months because you've got nothing better to do with your lives.

Now the First Step will be: You have to admit that you are POWERLESS.
Whether they are negative OR positive thoughts about the TT, the
business as a whole....or the owner....you HAVE TO admit that you are
powerless to let go! You have to admit that it takes up an
unreasonable amount of your time and your life!

Anybody is welcome to start. Just state your name, and tell us your
story regarding your obsession with the TT, DWM or Bill.....

My name is Bill. And I will be your group leader....

Don't be shy. Just speak your mind. You are among friends.....

Hi Bill, I'm Steve, and unlike others, I'm not a TinyTenna 'holic...

Your antenna's are pieces of crap... and as a long time DX'er I can state that
as a matter of fact.

No self respecting DX'er would ever use one of your antennas.

Thank you for being first Steve in Holland, Michigan

You are in denial. Please....tell us when/where this obsession first
began.... And why has it taken up your time.

Also tell us why you can't seem to make the grade when it comes to
amateur radio. Isn't that what you REALLY want to do??? This bragging
about being a DX'er means little to anyone. Why do you feel the need
to express this? Does it make you feel more important? Do you suffer
from low self esteem??

Go ahead....you're among friends....please continue.....

Just look at the way you act in rrs. I hang out

I pick up your repeater. Your behavior
is discussed, believe me.

But I, on the other hand, am well respected. I have
retailers from Sweden to California. From Florida
to Michigan. I've been featured in every ham magazine
known to man. But what have you really contributed
to the hobby, Steve???

Please....let me help you....


Burr March 6th 05 08:29 PM

Well Bill,

I guess I need to go a head and tell you where I have been and what I
have been doing. Then maybe I won't have to worry about telling you any
longer.

I have been at The Thomas Edison Center for the Treatment of
Technoholics in Woodside Ca, just outside of Silicon Valley. It's a
wonderful 40 acre spread, run by a Dr. Douglass Alligood.

The very first thing I did to get in trouble was try to hide my Tiny
Tina Supper Antenna in my underwear. The first 24 hours were the worst, I
was placed in detoxification with only a kerosene lamp and a few hardcover
books. No phone calls, or television. Communication was limited to face to
face conversation with staffers regarding nineteenth-century pastimes.

After completing detoxification I started occupational therapy,
relearning basic skills such as dialing a rotary phone, writing on paper
with a pen and long division without the aid of a calculator. Recreation
hour was spent mastering the Bill's yo-yo antenna.

In the evening, meetings were held on the rolling lawn in front of the
main house, it was there where technoholics shared their troubled histories.
I discovered I was not alone.

Ted, a stockbroker from Los Angeles told how he hit rock bottom when he
was stuck in his garage for three days when his garage door opener failed.
He didn't realize he could have just opened the door until after he got to
the Edison Center.

A girl named Ann became a tectnoholic after she got call waiting on her
telephone. She said she never thought she would become an addict, one day
she woke up to find herself standing around the mall waiting for Sharper
Images to open. After call waiting she got three way calling and from there
things just snowballed. She maxed out her credit cards on things like
portable fax machines and two-inch TVs.

The worst thing was the kids. There was a ten year old boy named Billy
who had been bought in by his grandparents. His father is a computer analyst
in Palo Alto. He didn't even beleive there used to be clocks with hands on
them.

Dr. Alligood has a 85% success rate with his treatment, I was not one of
them. The third day there I was able to get away and was recovered in town
playing the videos. I just hung in there through the reintegration training
to the modern world. I was forced to watch black & white TV with rabbit ears
and no remote control, use a rotary dial phone, take a course in penmanship
and learn to use a 1960 electric typewriter.

When I was leaving they asked me to acknowledge that I was powerless in
the face of technology. They said only then could I start the healing
process.

I couldn't wait to get my old Volvo on the road and listen to my virtual
reality machine so I could transport my consciousness into artificial
electronic Zen.

I now have headphones build into my cowboy hat, just like my bicycling
helmet, I look like a nice little man driving his old Volvo with a wonderful
smile on my face. I have covered the inside of the windshield with Mind
Altering Moodscapes to help with the mood as I pop my "SUPER MIND ZYGON
POWER PILLS" I find that I can induce a hypnotic trance then while my mind
is primed I can load pre-recorded behavioral mindscripts in to "MY SUPER
MIND".

Yo Dude, I have to get on with the transition so I'll close for today.
Be cool, keep the faith.

Many years ago,every year at the Mississippi State Fair which is held
here in Jackson every October,there used to be a guy who always showed
up at the Fair over by the Exibition buildings.He always had the hood of
his old car popped open and he was always hawking a gadget that was
supposed to give cars more Horsepower and more Miles per Gallon and make
car engines run much more Smoothly.Just Listen To That Engine Roar with
all of that increased Horsepower,Folks! I don't remember the name of
those Phoney Baloney gadgets (I fell for that one) but he would stick
those gadgets between the ignition coil wire and the distributor on the
engine of his old car.Every time I think about my Worthless Tiny-Tenna,I
think about that old guy at the Fair pulling the wool over those folks
who were foolish enough to Waste their Money on those gadgets.

Just because someone doesn't want to participate in amateur radio doesn't
mean they are technically illiterate. I am both a ham and SWL'er and
sometimes I get bored with amateur radio even though I'm into digital modes,
CW operating, QRP, homebrewing, SSTV, and beaconing. But my first love is
and always will be HF listening. Personally I go in turns, listening to
utes for a while, then maybe getting on the ham bands and chatting for a
while.

But don't insinuate that because someone enjoys SWLing that they don't also
enjoy amateur radio. Despite Steve's faults I have seen some good
information come from his direction.
