Okay folks,

We have a few posters here that are anonymous.

I decided to look into the N2EY-Quitefine connection

What is your evidence for Jim being Quitefine?


Most of Jim's posts - interestingly enough with his callsign - are
posted from google, whereas Quitefine's are all posted from AOL. A small
number of Jim's are posted from AOL, although from the headers,
Quitefine could also be Steve too.

But I doubt it is either of them.

More importantly, it is of interest that some of the people that are so
concerned about these anonymii are more concerned about that anonymity.
not either one is engaging in name calling, although Blackguard seems a
bit coarser.

Can't you guys handle it?


I am -
at least
I think I am -

I think! ;^)

Not I, kindly Sir!

But I do know who!

And I'm not telling!

I know that too. But from just a cursory glance at header info, one
could get the impression.

I hope not!

Only if you decide to suspend credulousness. Quitefine engages in
debates with manners, and does not try to win them by pure weight of
pejoratives and name calling. That easily distinguishes him(her?) from
Steve. If Quitefine is the space-shuttle of civility, then Steve is a
paper airplane.

With all kind wishes,

And of course THIS was NOT a "perjorative" on your part, Hans, and you are
eminently innocent of namecalling and flaming.

Do you have to spend twice as much money shaving BOTH of those faces,
Hans?

The word is pejorative, Steve, not "perjorative", so of course it was
not "perjorative" on my part.

Sunuvagun!

PS: Unlike the rather civilized "Quitefine", I give as good as I get.
Sorry if you can't handle that, but try to get used to it.

I can handle you quite fine, Hans. (pun intended)

I've dealt with folks like you in AND out of the service, Hans. It's
challenging, but not really difficult at all.

It's just a matter of trying to determine which face you're presenting
with any given topic.

What you see is what you get, Steve. Just to clear up any confusion on
your part, here are my thoughts on the predominate topics regularly
discussed here on rrap.

1 -- I think that Morse (CW) is a fun operating mode, sort of like
restoring old-time automobiles.
2 -- I do not think that Morse testing ought to be required to obtain an
amateur radio license of any class.
3 -- I think that you, Len, and Brian are a modern-day reincarnation of
the Three Stooges. You guys ought to petition NBC or CBS to revive that
show on TV.

With all kind wishes,

Funny that I see this right after I post that that is what Steve does!

go figure!

I was talking about header info, and definitely not posting styles. I
doubt that Steve's innate posting style would adapt to Quitefine's.
Certainly he wouldn't have any fun with it, since his style is more the
head-on, call ya out sort of thing.

I don't condone everything that Steve posts, but I respect him
nonetheless. And after his description of himself being the guy
"whacking at the Pinata,"

Remember that there are equal and opposite antagonists for him, which is
to say that I don't see him treating any of us in the same manner as he
does them. He doesn't even treat you as he does them. But I suspect that
if you started calling him "gunnery nurse, Nursie, or any of the other
dumb names he's called by some, he would reply in kind.

And I suspect that his lack of condemnation of Quitefine or Blackguard
is that they are not doing what a lot of anonymii do, which is to post
libelous and extremely insulting material.

There is a difference between civil anonymity and non-civil anonymity.
To not get that is to not get it.
