Some time back an anonymous poster calling himself "Leo" appeared

Hmmm - probably because I am! ......

Nice to see you again, Leo! Of course, you have to realize
definitions in here are tangential to the Real World.

Agreed - a parallel dimension, of sorts....

Several years ago I compared some of the attitudes in here
to old "Twilight Zone" and "Outer Limits" TV shows. Must
have their antennae out too far from their scalps... :-)

If you are FOR morse code testing by administrations, you are
"legitimate."

If you are against morse code testing then you are "illegitimate,"
"in error," "mistaken," "are a lying penis-head" and have
underarm odor.

Heh! or worse.....

Tsk, ain't it awful? :-)

Poor Jimmie is all upset by "my name-calling." He is sorely
wounded. I've called him names like James, Jimmy, Jimmie
and he is all a-twitter over those "insults." Tsk, tsk,
he must have thought those are equivalent to "gutless lying
coward", a term used often by another PCTA Extra in
addition to "PUTZ." Maybe I'll just refer to James as
"Your Exhalted Highness" and he will immediately understand
that it does mean His High (and Mighty) Holiness! :-)

Yup, yup, there's a very REAL PCTA Double Standard in here.

These "radio experts" (all through an ability at rapid
morse code) seem to have NO experience with the new
lead-free "solder" which is starting to give electronics
production lines some very real problems with tin dendrites
or "whiskers." [dendrites form out of lead-free solder long
after assembly and can grow to short out traces on PCBs]
Apparently not one of the morsemen (might and macho though
they may be) KNOW about this as part of RoHS.

So, a master super chief calls a play on words nasty things.
TOMB OF THE UNKNOWN SOLDER is a many-level little diatribe.
First, on this lead-free solder according to RoHS rules.
Second, on our beloved "critic" and self-appointed, self-
styled Raddio Kopp - the Avenging Angle of Dearth. Third,
on all the emotion-only image dwellers who get too
overwrought by "approved" stylized patriotic phrases and
Want To KILL (or otherwise do nasty to) all those who do
not knee-jerk to THEIR "approved" patriotism.

Actually, those in the third group are hypocrites, taking
advantage of the medium to be much more than they really
are. Their "patriotism" is primarily for themselves, as
they can "be all that they (wish to) be" in a terrible
parody-travesty of the U.S. Army recruiting phrase.

On entering the U.S. military, recruits are sworn in and
promise to "defend the Constitution of the United States."
Too many in here have substituted ARRL for the United
States. Defending the Constitution of the ARRL (probably
with their lives, if needs be) is NOT national patriotism,
no matter how they rage.


[anyone can be anything in this medium...and many are! :-)]

I'm not at all sure of what some of the cross-dressing anony-
mousies are in here. They may have been tossed off some porn
sites catering to "amateurs" and are confused as to content in
here... :-)

Wherever they came from, they've sure been wreaking havoc in here
lately! Seems to have quieted down a bit in the last few weeks,
though.

Ask "Quitefine," the nom de pheume of James Miccolis.

"Pheume" is an aliteration, another play on words, a
mixture of 'plume' and 'fume' and 'phew.' :-)

Screum.
