the ng has been dumb'd down steve. its surprising no one jacks the

jay and jim upstate usually have something to contribute technically

frank is another but has a sh*t dont stink attitude.
could you tell me who are george, leland and doug. it seems without them
braying it is quite quiet here.


Well Jim I'll disagree a little. Frank's sh#t stinks
as much as anyone else, it's the arrogant attitude on I know
more than you, no matter what, IMHO.

I was going to give a quick and easy answer, but after thinking about

occur in the future.....

I know that I'm an arrogant ass, and I know that people don't like me
because of it. But I really don't care because this isn't a popularity
contest, and I don't have any desire to socialize with semi-literate
rednecks who think life revolves around beer, CB radio, porno videos
and "professional" wrestling (and no, I don't mean everyone is like
that). I'm here to provide tech help for those that want it, clear up
some of this CB-mythology, encourage fence-sitters to operate legally,
and get a few laughs by prodding Twisty into paranoid tantrums.

No, I wasn't born an arrogant ass -- I worked hard at it. I taught
myself electronics when I was a kid (mostly tube stuff because they
were cheap -- boy, those were the days!), I had formal training and
some radio/electronics experience in the USMC, worked in a commercial
radio shop for several years, earned my degree by studying hard, and
have worked in the field as an EE for over a decade. I know my stuff,
and I have proven that many, many times in this group by chasing off
the voodoo-tech-wannabees who used this group as a refuge from other
experienced and knowledgable techs and hams in other forums.

I am generally polite to people who are polite to me (with the
exception of some regular newsgroup keyclowns, of course). As far as
personality is concerned, people must realize that everybody is
different and will have different personalities. I couldn't care less
if a person is an arrogant ass, a sloppy drunk, or even a flaming
homosexual (which is -not- a reference to Landshark -- I don't know
his sexual orientation and I really don't want to know). I don't care
if they can't spell, or don't understand English very well, or have
Tourette's syndrome, or even if they don't have a CB and just want to
hang out here. What makes a difference to -me- is if they can think
logically and chew gum at the same time. Many people in this group
can't. Others don't care to try because it would probably result in
mild to moderate psychosis due to the conflict between reality and
their half-baked ideals they use as excuses for their behavior (does
this sound like anyone we know?).

I don't think I'm such a bad guy -- I just take my RF seriously, my
discussions logically, my coffee black and my Tequila straight. If
that doesn't sit well with anyone else, that's their problem.

well spoken frank and i hope others take note.
as with you the electronics was early then on to the military. using
drum drive computers then makes one appreciate what one is using now.
btw, mezcal is a helluva lot easier than tequila

Look back at past posts I've made about Frank.
I've said a dozen or more times, that when Frank talks
about CB radio, I usually don't disagree, as with his
political views, again I usually don't disagree.
But when I have disagreed, it usually will end up with
him throwing out some sort of insult, instead of just
disagreeing.
Look at the posts that Dave & I had, were there insults
thrown out? No! Did we agree on most of what we talked
about? Yes! Did we disagree about some things? Yes!
But it did not end with insults being thrown at each other.
I saw his post in a response and this seemed pretty
poignant:

"But I really don't care because this isn't a popularity
contest, and I don't have any desire to socialize with semi-literate
rednecks who think life revolves around beer, CB radio, porno videos
and "professional" wrestling (and no, I don't mean everyone is like
that)."

What's your IQ Jim? I know what mine is and guess what?
It's a lot higher than Frank seems to think mine and I'm sure
a lot of others. Mopar is an owner of his own business with
multiple employees, I think he's got some smarts. I've talked
with you lot's of times, I wouldn't think of you as "redneck".
The truth is, he says he an EE, by what he's said here I
would believe it, but his broad statement above makes no sense
if he is as smart as he says.
He knows no more about my education any more than I his
or for that fact anyone's else's on this board, so my point is
that just because someone types something that either you don't
like or makes no sense to you, doesn't mean that they are a

"semi-literate rednecks who think life revolves around beer, CB radio, porno
videos and "professional" wrestling"

As he said:
"I don't think I'm such a bad guy -- I just take my RF seriously, my
discussions logically, my coffee black and my Tequila straight. If
that doesn't sit well with anyone else, that's their problem."

If that is true, I'd bet he would have a great time with I and Mopar
and a couple of others here.
I don't take my RF seriously, It's not my line of work. I do take
my work seriously, my coffee from his state sponsor (Starbucks),
my Tequila is Petron, but I usually drink beer, not hard liquor.
