Subject: The Game's Afoot!
From: (Len Over 21) Date: 6/18/2004 2:48 PM Central Standard Time Message-id: In article , (Putzcussionist of the Rock-head group Grateful Dood) writes: "I am only here to civilly debate the Morse Code test issue"...From the archived mistruths of an ex radio technician parading about as an engineer, Leonard H. Anderson. Was the SINCGARS family of radios ever mentioned? ...(SNIPPED) There are a LOT of military radio systems and equipment NOT mentioned in Amateur media...and byt eh same token most of those systems are NOT mentions in a great many professional journals, either...! ! ! ! ! Hmmm...General Dynamics as well as ITT make a quarter million radio sets over a period of 15 years and it is "not" mentioned in any professional journals?!?!? I didn't say "ever", Your Wimpiness. Your point? There's quite a bit of FREE information out there for anyone to find out about military or government radio systems and communications. Been there for a long time, even before the Internet went public such as the SINCGARS. Great. Then all those Amateurs who ARE interested in military communications DON'T have to depend on QST, et al to discuss them. A QUARTER MILLION radio sets of one kind makes for some future surplus market, doesn't it? [that's the most of any one kind of radio system in government history...] Sure it does. And "surplus" radio gear has NOT been the preferred method of getting on the air by Amateurs for TWO DECADES....Not when folks can buy brand new, under warranty equipment for under $200. If poor nursie is annoyed at not being spoon-fed enough info through hum radio magazines, then he should not try to mean- mouth those who know about such things. Tsk, tsk. Perhaps if you HAD been reading those Amateur magazines you'd understand a bit more about what you are talking about. But you go right on ahead, Lennie... Tsk, tsk, tsk. Nursie getting all red in the face with rage again and can't pull out any information from all those "secret" military radios "he can't talk about." Only you've tried to make it "secret". No, nursie did, way back when I first mentioned the SINCGARS in here plus the public availability of FM 24-24 of December 1994 (a compendium of signal equipment of all kinds, including HF radio sets, then in military inventory). Nursie claimed then - in broad generalities - he had "worked in military communications" but could not name ONE SET by either nomenclature or familiar name ANY of them. Claimed he could not talk about them due to not revealing military secrets or some rationalistic reason. Actually, my words then, as they are now, are that what I did in the Armed Forces have nothing to do with Amateur Communications. Just like YOUR "link" with Amateur Radio, Lennie, those "happenings" only shared the theoretical basics of radio wave generation and propagation. It's the application...not the physics...that separates you from the rest of us, Sir Scummy. Sucks to be you. Steve, K4YZ |

From: (Len Over 21) Date: 6/18/2004 2:48 PM Central Standard Time Message-id: In article , (Steve da CAP Ace with too much carburetor heat) sputters and foams: "I am only here to civilly debate the Morse Code test issue". From the archived lies of Leonard H. Anderson. That was 29 years ago, senior. That was 13 years ago, senior. If you're going to parody Spanish, Lennie, you should at least spell it correctly. The DSN (Digital Switched Network) ...(SNIP) Even more completely unrealted, off topic trivia from one who must hide behind it. Try to get with the modern times. Reality is all around you. Yes, it is. Too bad you can't share in it, eh...?!?! I am well acquainted with life. Nop, you're not. You are well acquainted with your PERCEPTION of it from behind textbooks and CRTs. Reality exists beyond the tattered, dog-eared pages of old QST issues and ARRL handbooks. Yes, it does. I and others have pointed that out to you on numerous occassions and invited you to come out and try it. You've declined. Too much security in LennieLand. Fort Huachuca was okay in early spring but I've heard it is uncomfortable in mid-summer, being in Arizona. Glad I wasn't there in mid-summer. I HAVE been there in mid-summer...and late summer when it's actually worse. On several occassions. Sandia Laboratories is different. But, I can't talk much about that except that visit concerned things like SID. Ahhhhhhhhhh.......I see. Someone else suggests some "security" issues and you try to denigrate them for it. You think you're promoting your "insiderness" and you wave it like a flag. No, not "rife." :-) If you are trying a larger vocabulary, try to get something somewhat close to correct...and in context. Yes...rife was correct and in context. You are trying to "poison the well" by singling out only specific instances of what I've mentioned as to experiences and work over the last 51+ years. In other words, I hit the mark so close that you'll be dressing the wounds from the "collateral damage" for days. None of it has anything to do with Amateur Radio. Radio is radio, regardless of the differentiation that mere human regulation makers make of its differences. Only in your mind, Lennie. If that assertion was so true, you'd have no basis for your OTHER rants that insist that Amateurs must spend thier time learning about "other" radio services. If "Radio is radio", your other assertions are baseless. The Pacific Stars & Stripes did not include a nice photo I made of the MARS antenna newly installed at Hardy Barracks in 1955. And they didn't use the pictures I had of the Loch Ness monster either, Lennie. "Dictating" what you said? Absolutely. You are outraged that anyone dare confront your ideas and fantasies with actual, real-life experiences. The same with several others in here. Why is it that all those "others" are focused on YOU, Lennie? Perhaps YOU are the one with the perception problems? That's a rhetorical question, of course. With absolutely NO experience in Amateur Radio, we know you have no informed, valid expereicen from which to base your comments. The dictatorial attitude is fairly common, done with heckling and name-calling and general denigration in an effort to make a poster stop writing. Weak intimidation. Works sometimes, but is not a guarantee of suppressing truth and reality. And therein lies the bane of your existence... Still having a hard time wondering why your "superior intellect" can't squash all those "lesser beings" with your infinite wisdom..... Too bad you can't objectively review what you just wrote against your conduct over the last several years. No one in this forum has made any such assertion. Even those who staunchly support Morse Code testing have advocated advancement in the service. ...by more and more manual telegraphy use, praising its supposed qualities, and generally getting into silly stuff about how it's so much "better" than any other mode. Note use of the word "service" again. Hmmmmmm....The FCC uses it to describe Amateur Radio. The Commissioners are not licensed Amateurs...Lord knows none of them hold ANY form of licensure by the FCC. YOU frequently point out the Commissioners status. Are you NOW telling us that the language used by those very same Commissioners is WRONG...?!?! Military surrogate use. Desire to make amateur radio much more than it is by trying to identify a hobby with military service. That's YOUR schtick, Lennie. Tsk, tsk. Lost focus. Nope. Never have. I encourge you to provide even ONE quote that supports your assertion to the contrary.... Heh heh heh. No, "encourage" is the wrong word. You CHALLENGE. You DEMAND. It would be a "challenge" to you, Lennie...In as much as the quotes you need do not exist. You all but hop up and down in spiteful hollering to try to divert the discussion. Nope...It's right on. You make all sorts of assinine assertions about Amateur Radio in general and some Amateurs in particular, then can NEVER back up your assertions. You make assertions of fact. I want you to validate them. You never do. You CLAIM to be a "radio professional". You are not now nor ever were anything of the kind. I don't resent your alleged engineering career, Lennie. I know several electronics engineers, and they are fine fellows who make meaningful contributions. I'm sure you have "Jewish best friends," too. I don't have to make such claims, Lennie. You seem to make a lot of them, though. You are NOT a fine fellow, and there's more than a few indicators that your "contribution" to radio communications were limited to your few articles sold to Ham Radio magazine. (No doubt a last resort in "getting published" since I am sure the professional journals cut you off at the knees.) You can check out McGraw-Hill's old biweekly Electronics and Designer's Casebook. You can check out Microcomputing, a former monthly for personal computerists. You can check out BYTE magazine as well as BYTE Books on articles concerning circuit simulation. All reviewed and accepted by others. But not accepted as "PROFESSIONAL" publishing. If you tried to pass off "credentials" like some hobbyist periodicals as "profesional publishing", you'd be laughed out of the IEEE. You want to make a Big Thing about Ham Radio Magainze going "defunct" back in 1990...even though HR was considered a leader in U.S. ham periodicals for technical information...which it was. The "defunction" was due to a shrinking ham advertising market already begun by 1990. That shrinking is even affecting QST. It hit 73 Magazine big time. Unlike QST which can get support from the ARRL membership monies, HR and 73 were independent publications whose entire income was derived by advertising. CQ is the same way and is barely hanging on. The "shrinking ham advertising" was due to a lack of support of consumers. No consumers = no advertising monies = defunct. Corporate advertisers do not spend thier advertising monies where it is not netting a reasonable return. If "Ham Radio" had been the marvel of publishing accomplishment you'd care to have us beleive, it would still be actively published instead of being polished and repackaged as a CD novelty. "73" lost it's readership because Wayne Green is a senile idiot who ran it into the ground...not once, but twice. And how many "QRP" and "antenna specials" can one magazine run in a year...?!?! And those "editiorials"...?!?! Sheeeesh! Talk about being the poster boy for "Paranoia Today".... Even then I can't find a single example where any of your "work" was original, nor can I find any example of where your "contributions" were complimentary to the advancement of ANY radio communications discipline. Tsk, tsk, tsk. Having nursie as a critic is like having a blind color coordinator for interior decoration. :-) Try to differentiate between "compliment" and "complement." In either use of either word, there is no professional historical documentation that would indicate that Leonard H. Anderson did anything other than sweep floors in ANY "aerospace" installation or facility. And as far as your "contributions" to Amateur Radio via your HR pieces, I find no occassion where your work was footnooted, included or otherwise madse part-and-parcel of any other paper or work. And I did look. Closely. Poor nursie...never could take an opposite opinion to his in here and is bitterly resentful to anyone who had spoken out in opposition to him. I am only "bitterly resentful" of pathological liars and persons who proactively seek to cause What am I "seeking to cause?" Sentence unfinished. Yep...I changed a sentence prior to "sending" and clipped it. Here's the full sentence: "I am only 'bitterly resentful' of pathological liars who proactively seek to cause harm to Amateur Radio for no other purpsoe than to sate his own ego". What are "pathological liars," nursie? You are a pathological liar, Lennie. You can't tell or acknowledge the truth. Your lying is habitual. Even when you DO quote or recite factual information, who can trust you? Nursie no gots da edumcation in sykology, sointanly ain't gots no certificates (suitable for framing, hanging on da wall) as a licensed shrink. No licensure as a mental health worker, Lennie. True. However I DO have certifications in Emergency Nursing, in and among which is included managing psychiatric emergencies. Which is one more than YOU have. And it's too bad YOU don't avail yourself of the "hum radio magazines". (Your true colors are showing, Scumbag.) A long-time radio amateur used to say "hum radio." And you are not a "long time radio amateur". Never were, and God willing, never will be. I find it QUITE "enlightening" to keep an eye on you. Nursie is OBSESSED. Is COMPELLED to mean-mouth others who go against his opinions. Nope...not "mean-mouth". Expose. As if it took any effort to do... And if you didn't post such foolishness, I wouldn't have anything to work with. HARDLY "obsessed". And I am still waiting for you to post your credentials to tell us what qualified you to make determinations as to what is or isn't "good mental health". Leafing through wifey's correspondence courses doesn't qulify. Sicko words are sicko words to lay people, nursie. Well, Lennie, I am neither "lay people", nor am I the "sicko" that you insinuate. And still waiting on your psychiatry credentials. Steve, K4YZ |

When you consider that no carrier goes anywhere alone but instead has various mixtures of destroyers, cruisers, attack subs, and at least one ammo/oiler/supply ship in its CSG (Carrier Strike Groups are formed and disestablished on an as-needed basis; but while one may be different from another, all are comprised of similar types of ships), that's a heck of a lot of radio traffic, so I'm sure the freqs listed above only skim the surface. Conspicuous by their absence from the above freqs are freqs for LINK-11 (TADIL-A) voice coordination nets, for example. Needless to say, these guys can also change frequency at any time, and will according to mission requirements, propagation, QRM, and other considerations - including COMSEC. 73 DE John D.

ADA was/is an ARMY callsign. :-) ADA is presently the Headquarters call of the USARPAC (United States Army, Pacific) located at Fort Shafter, Hawaii. I have no idea what USARPAC is running on HF now. Left ADA in 1956...that's 48 years ago. The facilities of ADA were transferred to the USAF in 1963 (callsign changed, equipment the same) but the USAF closed that entire facility down in 1978. There's an "HF Department" of the 78th Signal Service Battalion stationed at Camp Zama, Japan, under the 516th Signal Brigade at Fort Shafter. I don't have any details on what the 78th has nor of any extensive "inventory." :-) Back in late 1954 the 40 KW Collins transmitter hadn't yet been given the military designation of AN/FRT-22. :-) For that matter, the 24-voice-channel GE microwave terminals (commercial) weren't given the "official" designation of AN/FRC-25...the "credential" for such importance consisting of sticking on a label on each of the six terminal racks' doors, thereby making it "military." :-) Those just kept on working into the USAF responsibility shift. ADA was never the biggest Army station, those facilities probably never the biggest USAF station after 1963. The ADA receiver site at Camp Owada was shared with the USAF in the 1950s and was described as the largest receiver site in the world at the time with pairs of rhombics for each circuit (space diversity with multicouplers and diversity adapters) and the whole works running 24/7. TTY Relay at Chuo Kogyo (later at Building 898, North Camp Drake) handled 220 thousand messages a month in 1955. Not the biggest since WAR (Washington Army Radio) TTY Relay handled 1.2 million a month in that same year. Except for some trials of mods, all the rest of the TTYs ran at 60 WPM rates. That was a half century ago. Times have changed. Some ideas of what the U.S. military does now, or even did back a half century ago are purely imaginary in the minds of those that weren't involved in military communications then or later. Yes, I was a corporal back a half century ago, a PFC before that, and the equivalent of today's SSGT afterwards, that as an operating team leader and later as a supervisor of microwave relay operations and maintenance. All in three years of that assignment. Thank you for mentioning it. :-) I could not dare to achieve any heights of greatness nor the nobility of purpose or excellence of the United States Navy in a short volunteer military active duty time of 4 years...not even in the reserves for 4 more...just army stuff, what an ex- murine called "radio clerk" things. :-) Thank you for the rendition of "Rancors Away..." :-) |

But, I can't talk much about that except that visit concerned things like SID. Ahhhhhhhhhh.......I see. Someone else suggests some "security" issues and you try to denigrate them for it. SID is an acronym for Seismic Intrusion Devices. RCA Corporation made a bunch of them for the "McNamara Wall" in Vietnam, circa 1973-1975. Neat little automatic devices reporting back (unattended) by radio to a "Portatale" (familiar name) receiver. Could sense footfalls and had internal sound processing to differentiate between four-footed and two-footed creatures. Did the two antennas for them, accurate pattern measurements on the first model, redesign to a "whip" type for the second model. That design is rather outdated now but SIDs are still used by the government. I really don't know how much information is still classified. What I've reported is from the public-release information from Defense Electronics magazine. Would make a cool variant on a super-tough-to-find "fox hunt" transmitter. :-) Transmitter stays silent until the stalker comes close. Sort of "role reversal" of the traditional game. It would make for very accurate "fox hunt" scoring, though. :-) You think you're promoting your "insiderness" and you wave it like a flag. Poor baby. Came all unglued for using an old acronym? :-( tsk, tsk, tsk...all that "hostile action" stuff and never did any Recon Marine intel patrolling? No, not "rife." :-) If you are trying a larger vocabulary, try to get something somewhat close to correct...and in context. Yes...rife was correct and in context. "Rife: (adj) 1. Widespread 2. Abounding (as with error)" Only in nursieworld where anything not according to nursie is "rife." :-) You are trying to "poison the well" by singling out only specific instances of what I've mentioned as to experiences and work over the last 51+ years. In other words, I hit the mark so close that you'll be dressing the wounds from the "collateral damage" for days. tsk, tsk, tsk...only in nursie's unhealthy imagination, still living in the "hostile action" battlezone. :-) Must be the post-traumatic stress disorder resulting from no longer being issued a rifle to deal with "rife-ness." None of it has anything to do with Amateur Radio. Radio is radio, regardless of the differentiation that mere human regulation makers make of its differences. Only in your mind, Lennie. Hardly. :-) The FCC knows this, other nations' radio regulating agencies know this, the rest of the radio world outside of olde- tyme hum radio knows this, academic institutions teaching physics knows this, etc., etc., etc. Nursieworld is all by itself, "a dimension of sight and sound... at the signpost up ahead...the Twilight Zone!" :-) If that assertion was so true, you'd have no basis for your OTHER rants that insist that Amateurs must spend thier time learning about "other" radio services. First, amateurs ought to know "thier" own radios...something beyond the front panel controls. Amateur radios work by the same physics as other radios! Sunnuvagun! A revelation to nursieworld! If "Radio is radio", your other assertions are baseless. Nurise is "right" and everyone else is "wrong." :-) Nursieworld still stuck in the Twilight Zone again. tsk, tsk. The Pacific Stars & Stripes did not include a nice photo I made of the MARS antenna newly installed at Hardy Barracks in 1955. And they didn't use the pictures I had of the Loch Ness monster either, Lennie. Nursie did an interview with Stars & Stripes? Where, when, for the Sunday comics section? [Stars & Stripes does have comic strips in case anyone wanted to venture into nursieworld imagination] "Dictating" what you said? Absolutely. You are outraged that anyone dare confront your ideas and fantasies with actual, real-life experiences. The same with several others in here. Why is it that all those "others" are focused on YOU, Lennie? "All?" :-) A few of the regulars in here who are of the same ilk as nursie, wanting to fight to the bitter end to preserve and protect olde-tyme hamme radio and manual telegraphy? Wait for the next Sermon on the Antenna Mount...soon to be preached by the good Rev. Perhaps YOU are the one with the perception problems? I haven't gotten the rose-colored glasses yet. Don't use any nursieworld kaleidoscopes...only oscilloscopes. :-) That's a rhetorical question, of course. With absolutely NO experience in Amateur Radio, we know you have no informed, valid expereicen from which to base your comments. "Expereicen?" New word? From Newington? Of course. Amateur radio is so vastly different from all other radio that one must be licensed and experienced (and be tested in manual telegraphy) to understand it. [according to nursie] Nurise hasn't done jack in any other radio service, only amateur, so that's her only basis. Oh wow, profound, that tunnel vision... The dictatorial attitude is fairly common, done with heckling and name-calling and general denigration in an effort to make a poster stop writing. Weak intimidation. Works sometimes, but is not a guarantee of suppressing truth and reality. And therein lies the bane of your existence... "Bane (n) 1. ruin, death, harm, or their cause 2. poison" So far, nursie is back on using quaint expressions involving all that death and destruction. Must be all that post-traumatic stress disorder from military life again...? Still having a hard time wondering why your "superior intellect" can't squash all those "lesser beings" with your infinite wisdom..... "Squash?" I'm not fond of squash. It's okay as food, but tasteless. A more proper word would be 'quash.' Two meanings - "Quash (vt) from the Latin 'cassus' To set aside (in law use) "Quash (vt) from the Latin 'quatere' To quell as in an uprising." [dictionary quoting a part of public service offered pro bono...] Too bad you can't objectively review what you just wrote against your conduct over the last several years. tsk, tsk, tsk...confused on the differences between "objective" and "subjective?" The dictionary is your friend. Get acquainted. Remember only nursie's alternate personalities live in nursieworld. It's all subjective in there... No one in this forum has made any such assertion. Even those who staunchly support Morse Code testing have advocated advancement in the service. ...by more and more manual telegraphy use, praising its supposed qualities, and generally getting into silly stuff about how it's so much "better" than any other mode. Note use of the word "service" again. Hmmmmmm....The FCC uses it to describe Amateur Radio. All throughout Title 47 Code of Federal Regulations, the term "service" is a regulatory word pertaining to a type and kind of radio activity being regulated. "Service" has many meanings (the dictionary IS your friend and you really need one). Amateur radio is no more of a military or national purpose "service" than Citizens Band Radio Service (Part 95, Title 47 C.F.R.). No one "enlists" in the amateur radio service although some actually do feel compelled to treat it like some military service! The Commissioners are not licensed Amateurs...Lord knows none of them hold ANY form of licensure by the FCC. YOU frequently point out the Commissioners status. tsk, tsk, tsk...why are you stoutly maintaining that anyone "involved" in amateur radio "must be licensed?" :-) Are you NOW telling us that the language used by those very same Commissioners is WRONG...?!?! All throughout Title 47 Code of Federal Regulations, the term "service" is a regulatory word pertaining to a type and kind of radio activity being regulated. Military surrogate use. Desire to make amateur radio much more than it is by trying to identify a hobby with military service. That's YOUR schtick, Lennie. ? I've been a civilian for 44 years after receiving my honorable discharge from the U.S. Army in 1960. [only one, honorable, not typed in on any DD-214 which I received in 1956] Tsk, tsk. Lost focus. Nope. Never have. tsk, tsk, tsk...nursie keeps forgetting to take off the lens cap. ...and never loads any film. :-) Nope...It's right on. You make all sorts of assinine assertions about Amateur Radio in general and some Amateurs in particular, then can NEVER back up your assertions. You make assertions of fact. I want you to validate them. You never do. You CLAIM to be a "radio professional". You are not now nor ever were anything of the kind. Do you need those documents verified by a notary public and hand-delivered by bonded courier? :-) tsk, tsk, tsk...I've given my short-form resume in here along with living radio amateur references...and nursie never did check them out, only issuing spiteful, hated nastygrams. :-) "Professional (adj) Engaged in some sport or specific occupation for pay." [the dictionary can be your friend but nursie seems to want to fight with everyone...] If you tried to pass off "credentials" like some hobbyist periodicals as "profesional publishing", you'd be laughed out of the IEEE. Haven't been since first joining IEEE in 1973. One of my sponsors was Jim Hall, KD6JG. :-) ["sunnavagun" as the super chief is fond of saying...:-) ] The "shrinking ham advertising" was due to a lack of support of consumers. No consumers = no advertising monies = defunct. Corporate advertisers do not spend thier advertising monies where it is not netting a reasonable return. You are close, but you've failed Business Economics 101. The "shrinking ham advertising" is due to a lack of SPENDING for advertising by manufacturers and services in periodicals. Advertising is basically the same regardless of the product or service. It is a means to induce potential buyers of a particular product or service. Most periodicals in the USA exist solely on the basis of advertising space sales income. When advertisers do not purchase advertising space in periodicals, that periodical has less revenue. [I hope you've understood that basic rule so far...] Note this carefully: The purchase of advertising space has little directly to do with "consumers." Some products and services can continue with an absolute minimal amount of advertising. If "Ham Radio" had been the marvel of publishing accomplishment you'd care to have us beleive, it would still be actively published instead of being polished and repackaged as a CD novelty. HR existed for 22 years as an independent periodical, even spun off "Ham Radio Horizons." It started up as an independent, continued as an independent. No support was needed by any membership organization budget such as QST. HR was considered the prime technical periodical for amateur radio by radio amateurs when it was in its 22 year span. That was stated by many, many radio amateurs. Even then I can't find a single example where any of your "work" was original, nor can I find any example of where your "contributions" were complimentary to the advancement of ANY radio communications discipline. Tsk, tsk, tsk. Having nursie as a critic is like having a blind color coordinator for interior decoration. :-) Try to differentiate between "compliment" and "complement." In either use of either word, there is no professional historical documentation that would indicate that Leonard H. Anderson did anything other than sweep floors in ANY "aerospace" installation or facility. tsk, tsk, tsk...personnel records of employees are not normally found in "professional historical documentation." :-) Those can be verified by personnel departments (now called "human resources"). And as far as your "contributions" to Amateur Radio via your HR pieces, I find no occassion where your work was footnooted, included or otherwise madse part-and-parcel of any other paper or work. "Footnoot?" "Madse?" :-) And I did look. Closely. Total bull**** by nursie. :-) :-) :-) On the other hand, maybe a sign of an impending vision problem. Having to look closely at written text may be an indication that an eye examination is required, perhaps for corrective lenses. See an opthalmologist or optometrist in addition to a mental therapist. Here's the full sentence: "I am only 'bitterly resentful' of pathological liars who proactively seek to cause harm to Amateur Radio for no other purpsoe than to sate his own ego". You'll hate yourself in the morning. :-) [every morning] You are a pathological liar, Lennie. You can't tell or acknowledge the truth. Your lying is habitual. Even when you DO quote or recite factual information, who can trust you? Then how do you know anything I write is "factual" if everything is a "lie?" :-) Just another "meaningful discourse" nastygram from nursie. And you are not a "long time radio amateur". Never were, and God willing, never will be. tsk, tsk, tsk...that's not the way to get a PR job with ARRL...:-) Expose. As if it took any effort to do... tsk, tsk, tsk...remember the lens cap is still on and you didn't load any film... :-) And if you didn't post such foolishness, I wouldn't have anything to work with. HARDLY "obsessed". Your obsession was just admitted. Seek help with that disorder. Well, Lennie, I am neither "lay people", nor am I the "sicko" that you insinuate. I didn't "insinuate." I stated it directly. You are obsessed with trying to fight with newsgroup communicators who don't agree with you. You defy social convention in acting the sociopath to all who don't share your viewpoints. That's a sick attitude to anyone, with or without "credentials." Get help. LHA / WMD |
