Well...You KNOW who I nominate:

For his pages long recitings of his CV...

For his frequent retelling of how he "worked DX" in a 1950's-era
Army radio station...

What would you call long distance communications?

Closed circuit communications. "Working DX" is an Amateur term,
applied to Amateur practice, involving radio communication between
Amateur Radio stations. His Army nets worked specific stations on
specific frequencies at specific times with overwhelming power and
resources. An idiot could complete a contact with that much
power...Ooooops...an idiot DID complete those contacts...forgive me...

For his frequent demeaning of not only individual Amateurs, but
of the Amateur Service as a whole...

I'm an individual amateur and a member of the ARS as a whole. I don't
"feel" demeaned. There is some truth in Len's observation of the ARS.
Accept it.

There's very LITTLE truth.

And you're one of those who, just like Lennie, demonstrate a very
poor understanding of those same Amateur practices, so I am very
UNIMPRESSED about how you feel about his sleights.

For his frequent attempts to associate himself with Soldiers who
died in combat for the purpose of improving his own "reputation"...

If you served, you are associated with soldiers who died in combat.
That's just the way it is, and no amaount of running away from it will
disassociate you from them. Yet there are those who never served and
claim "military experience." That is disgusting.

Many of my fellow Marines have fallen in combat. That is true. I
honor them and wish they never had to be called upon to make that
sacrifice, but they did.

UNLIKE Lennie, however, I have never tried to link myself to
those Marines (or any other servicemember, for that matter) in such a
way as to insinuate that I was somehow part and parcel of that
sacrifice for my own benefit or "reputation".

THAT is disgusting.

BTW, other than Mark Morgan, to WHOM do you refer as "never
served"...The nature of just about everyone's (regulars, that is...)
military or government service here is well documented.

For countless lies, mistruths (especially that one about "get my
Extra Lite out of the box...) and use of profanity and insults...

We have all desired things which we have not achieved.

Ahhhhhh....too true. But then none of us here have "not
achieved" anything for which we were so otherwise eminently qualified,
now have we...?!?! Of if anyone has, they are not making an issue of
it!

The envelope pleeeeeeease! (drom roll ensuses....)

Leonard H. "Lennie the Liar" Anderson!

Respectfully submitted,

Obviously disrespectfully submitted.

How "obviously"..?!?! Is anything I said untrue...?!?!

Steve, K4YZ

At least you didn't start a new thread over it.

Nope...someone else did...But JUST FOR YOU, Brain, I started
another one with yet another unravelling of your Rear Area War Hero's
rants...That being how allegedly "unimportant" Amateur Radio is in the
overall scheme of the radio world.

Seems he doesn't have the full appreciation of the pulse of the
radio world as he alledges...Not that any of "us" didn't know already.

Steve, K4YZ
