ROFLOL!!!

No offense meant, my family had teeth of chalk--I would be a member of
those WITH false teeth (darn moms' genetics!) ...

No offense taken. However, it is habitual with the adolescent mindset
of many in here who turned this newsgroup into a rotting pile of
excrement to constantly get on anyone's case who vaguely mentions some
physical or away-from-"normal" sexual anything.

This thread started out with some simple statistics based on FCC
database information that ALL the amateur statistics sites use (even
the ARRL). The main thing it showed for the first two months since
the end of license exam code testing was UPGRADING of existing
licnsees. There were NO hordes of "unwashed CB types' entering
amateur radio as so many of the pro-code olde-tymers kept saying
"would happen." Note: The pro-coders kept saying that, the no-code-
test advocates did not.

There is some hint of a slight increase in newcomers to amateur radio,
but only a hint. That could be a statistical anamoly (nothing to do
with tooth enamel). Or it might be an actual boost of interest.

The number of expirations remains relatively the same, these last 60
days or the 60 days prior to about the end of January (when General
and Extra still required a code test). The overall licensee totals
remain relatively static yet the population of the USA keeps
increasing.

Sorry, but I had to put some "teeth" into the subject of this
thread...
