I don't think she needs a reason beyond that. Do you think it's her right to misattribute? Do you think it's her right to change quoted posts with no indication of having done so? Do you think it's her right to end a post with someone else's typical signature? Jim is apparently trying to make a point about Kim's call sign, which he and many of us think borders on 'tacky'. That's his right. To be exact, I think the callsign she chose for herself is inappropriate for the amateur radio service. I agree with Riley's evaluation of it. But I have tried not to make a big deal about the issue. I cannot control what others put in their postings here, but I *can* control what I post, and so certain inappropriate words and phrases are edited out by me. The editing is done in accordance with Usenet and email standards. I try to always be clear what words were written by the original author and what words were not. I found it amusing that other posters who "had a problem" with Kim's choice of callsign wrote many, many postings containing that callsign, therefore giving it far more visibility than it would otherwise get. Kim is apparently trying to make a point about Jim. That's her right. Do you think it's her right to misattribute? Nope Do you think it's her right to change quoted posts with no indication of having done so? Nope Do you think it's her right to end a post with someone else's typical signature? Nope Never mind that they both remind me of the 'church lady', and I think that they and you are acting like sanctimonious twits. That's my right. "Well, isn't that special?" ;-) YMMV. That's your right. It's surreal to note that Kim's alteration of quotes raises far, far less comment and condemnation than my omission of her callsign. In fact, I've been omitting it for many months and no one has noticed until now. I did, but saw no need to comment until the mis-attribute letter came along. Of all the people who post here, Kim always struck me as the one who would *least* need to have her status as a radio amateur (or her status as anything else) validated, endorsed, supported or otherwise patronized by me. Or by anyone else. I'm sometimes electro-politically incorrect. That's not going to change. Deal with it. But I don't misattribute and then say the header should make it clear. Most of her posts have the correct attributes (or is that attributification) 8^) How this message became "different" is a mystery. Maybe it was an accident, maybe it was not. Heck if I did that, I'd send out an "oops" at least. - Mike KB3EIA - It was not an "oops" at all, Mike. I've noticed before that Jim sends that list out without my callsign associated with it. I consider that my prediction is probably among the most accurate of the predictions that have a true "pulse" on amateur radio--REGARDLESS of the callsign of *any* chosen ham. Jim is disrespectful to me to make it look like I am not an amateur when he chooses not to associate me as an amateur when I've made a conscious decision to participate in something he's providing for fun. I deliberately, with no malice, and consciously deleted the attributes of the original message simply to include my callsign in the list. I don't give a hoot if you, the Usenet police, Jim, or any other person has a problem with that. I've requested that Jim just plain remove my name and prediction from the list. If he cannot accept me as an amateur radio operator, equal in every way but license class to any other amateur, then I deliberately, with no malice, and respectfully abstain from regarding *him* at all.

All the talk about dumbing down and we get a thread with nothing to do
with radio at all. Dumb on... Bert Craig wrote: "Mike Coslo" wrote in message et... Bert Craig wrote: Hey Mike, My friends call me Bert. Only Len calls me Egbert.

In article , "Kim"
writes: Jim is disrespectful to me to make it look like I am not an amateur when he chooses not to associate me as an amateur when I've made a conscious decision to participate in something he's providing for fun. There was no disrespect intended, Kim. If you feel disrespected that's your perception, not my intent. I deliberately, with no malice, and consciously deleted the attributes of the original message simply to include my callsign in the list. At first, you simply changed the quoted text *without* changing the symbols, so it looked like I wrote something I did not write. I chalked that one up to a simple typo and said nothing. Then, you peeled off *all* the symbols, including the one by my signature line, so it looked like I had signed a post you made. I don't give a hoot if you, the Usenet police, Jim, or any other person has a problem with that. If you do not respect Usenet conventions, why should anyone respect your desire to have your callsign included? You want respect that you do not give others. I've requested that Jim just plain remove my name and prediction from the list. Done. No problem. If he cannot accept me as an amateur radio operator, equal in every way but license class to any other amateur, then I deliberately, with no malice, and respectfully abstain from regarding *him* at all. I have *always* accepted you as an amateur radio operator, Kim. But I do not post your callsign because I think you made an inappropriate choice. But we hams are not "equal in every way but license class". Each of us is better at some things than others. I'm sure there are things involving amateur radio that you're better at than me, and there are probably things involving amateur radio that I'm better at than you. So we are not equal in every way but license class. I did not include your callsign in the list because I think that your choice of callsign (even though it's legal) is inappropriate to the amateur radio service. You *chose* that callsign, and the FCC would not have issued it sequentially. The fact that something is legal does not make it appropriate to do, or in the best interests of all concerned. 73 de Jim, N2EY |
"N2EY" wrote However, note that the "first date not in 'this millenium' is January 1, 3001. You're mistaken Jim, but I don't want to carry on another pointless argument with you for the next 996 years, so just forget it. With all kind wishes for Y3K, de Hans, K0HB |
