No. You don't. Not in a "general" list you are compiling, where you

have
made no mention of how people will be listed. It was intended by

me--and
was when I first submitted my prediction--that I would be listed *just

as
every other amateur radio operator.* You *do not*, Jim--whether you

think
you do or not--have the right to *disascociated* me from my callsign.
Period. But, especially in a list where you've invited people to join,

yet
you did not say anyone would be listed in any way differently than

anyone
else.

You have prevented my callsign being associated with other amateur radio
operators in a list where you treated them differently (by listing them

with
a callsign). You have prevented, by mere omission of my callsign, me

from
being viewed as an amateur radio among other amateur radio operators in

a
list in which such omission could easily be taken out of context, I

might
add.


Anyway, I feel victorious, but maybe it's just me. As I said, I really

do
have the opinions stated in this response and really do believe you

should
have offered anything but leaving my callsign off the list. But, my

greater
purpose was to leave you with that same, frustrated feeling I used to

have
when you'd box me into a corner I couldn't get out of. Maybe you don't

feel
boxed...but you sure were getting defensive and unexpectedly

insulted--at
least it looked that way to me in this post!




Kim --- Jim has every right to not include your callsign in his messages.

Jim --- Kim has every right to feel whatever she feels about that, and to
post messages which make her "feel victorous" in return.

In other words, you both have the right to make yourselves look like
laughable self-righteous sanctimonious twits, and you both are certainly
doing a superb job of that.


Oh, wait. Oh, never mind. I thought I was seeing Hans with something other
than a gorilla thumping message. My mistake.


All the high-sounding babble about usenet attribution rules is exactly
that..... babble.

Attribute that.


At least we can.


With all kind wishes,

de Hans, K0HB
