I'm glad your laughing, because I certainly am!

Don't worry Steve, we're laughing at you, not with you.

That's OK.

Meanwhile, I'm laughing at YOU because you apparently are unable or unwilling to
pass a simple test. But hey, you can wait a while longer and perhaps they'll be
giving that ticket away with the Cracker-Jack.

Best of luck.


Hey DxAce..how does it feel to have worked so hard to pass a test that
means absolutely nothing today. Morse code has no use because nobody
is listening. You can count yourself as the proud owner of a
certificate that proves you can mimic the operation of a very slow data
modem. You can send and transcribe text at a rate that would put most
readers to sleep.

Ya know, I think I'm really starting to come to my senses. How could I have been so
wrong for so long? I mean, what business did I have taking a test that would actually
give me the privilege of doing something I wanted to do. How foolish of me.

You know John, I actually pretty envious of you. Here I've been coasting along with my
General Class license all these years, years that I've wasted. Crap, I could've been a
'tard boy like you all these years, and I didn't even realize it.

Tell me John, just what have I missed in the wonderful world of 'tardism by wasting my
time obtaining that dumbass license?


DxAce, you will have to answer that one - I have no idea what would
prompt someone to learn a skill with no application.


I'm looking to you to fill in my wasted years. You can 'Elmer' me.

Snip

It's called taking up a hobby like listening to short wave radio, ham
radio, stamp collecting. He was interested in learning a skill and
broadening his horizons.

It's pretty rude to characterize someone else's interests as a waste of
time. What other people like to do has nothing to do with what John S.
likes to spend his time doing.

Here is a tip for all posters to Usenet, when you respond to a post
pretend the original poster is in front of you and read your response
out loud before you hit the send button. Don't send it until you think
the other person will not want to take a swing at you after reading it.

I listen to some Shortwave radio and some local Jackson Ham Radio
operators on my Radio Shack Pro-91 scanner radio and a couple of local
Jackson area talk radio shows on www.supertalkms.com and some music
(mostly Country Music on 96.3 FM www.us963.com) on radio and some 40's
music (1930's and 1940's music) on DirecTV,unless I am watching some of
my favorite old,old movies on tv.Sometimes,I turn off my radio and tv
set for a while and do some reading,it's nice to have a quiet house.What
other people like to listen to on radio or watch on tv has no bearing on
me at all.Like the old saying goes,To Each Their Own.

Telamon provides some pretty sage advice here.
