Browsing the FCC internet site the sheer number of reply comments by one Californian caught my eye.

8 in all on WT Docket 05-235. :-)

But, only ONE is a Comment. All the subsequent ones are REPLIES
to Comments.


One quote was particularly petulant --- "Based on the twenty items
discussed and comment on them, this commenter would urge the Commission
to ignore ARRL desires..."

Not quite verbatim, but close enough for government work. :-)


Perhaps, based on his tens of thousands of posts on the usernet, we
should urge the Commission to ignore Leonard H. Anderson desires.

It's ALREADY been done long ago. See WT Docket 98-143
for 25 January 1999...search ECFS for surname "Robeson."


BTW, it's "USENET," an acronym for 'university network' that
grew out of the old ARPANET long ago...so long it was before
the Internet went public access (in 1991).

It isn't from "university network", Len. For someone who has been
around as long as you claim, you'd think you'd get this one right.
This isn't even the first time you've been corrected.

From http://dict.die.net/usenet/

"messaging /yoos'net/ or /yooz'net/ (Or "Usenet news", from
'Users' Network') A distributed bulletin board system and
the people who post and read articles thereon."

From
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&h...=define:USENET

"Short for User's Network. The collection of the thousands of bulletin
boards residing on the Internet. Each bulletin board contains discussion
groups, or newsgroups, dedicated to a myriad of topics. Messages are
posted and responded to by readers either as public or private emails.

It looks as if you've made another of your frequent factual errors, Leonard.

ARRL can do NO wrong? To speak against them is heresy?

Everyone should listen to you? You know how amateur radio should be
because...?

Sunnuvagun, if the English Department of a west coast university
wants to "vote" for code testing...and twenty Tennessee law
students can use WT Docket 05-235 for Moot Court practice, fine,
PROHIBIT all they want!


"ARRL is thy savior, thou shall not want in ham land..."

I see. Don't listen to the ARRL; listen to an uninvolved party with an
ax to grind. Brilliant!
