Brian, there's no use trying to argue with "Quitefine," an unconvincing
screen surrogate of James P. Miccolis. :-)
He is stuck in the morsemanship rut and not even a Land Rover can
yank him out.
Let him admire the code keys on display at the AWA and let him
live in the past pioneers' time, which he did not.
I find that intriguing coming from a man who feels compelled to make
numerous posts, spanning the better part of a decade, to a newsgroup
dealing with an endeavor in which he has no part.

You say he has no part, yet he has contributed to the amateur
literature,
Literature? I'll concede that Leonard authored some articles for a
commericial venture in the form of an amateur radio magazine. That
didn't make him a radio amateur.
and he has commented on amateur matters to the FCC.
By your logic, comments to the Commission on broadcast station ownership
make one involved in broadcasting. Len's comments didn't make him a
radio amateur.
There
are probably amateurs (the kind with a license) who have made fewer
contributions than has Len.
Is something one does for money a contribution? Is something which
results in a negative action a contribution? Is something which results
in no action a contribution?
How strange that you say he has no part.
Len has no amateur radio license. Len may not operate radio equipment
under Part 97 of the FCC regs. Len is not a regulator of amateur radio.
I don't find that strange at all. I find it fitting.
