They don't? Ever???

Herr Kommandant lives in an on-off world, either key down or key
up.
He can't seem to negotiate understanding the in-between. :-)


Herr Kommandant? Godwin invoked. You lose.
You certainly haven't described me. As one who enjoys playing
music,
particularly blues and jazz, I'm quite at home with flatted notes.
I
can also tell the subtle differences in a variety of prigs.


"""Tell us about amateur radio's role in an emergency."""

They should do whatever they can with whatever they've got.

Correct. That would be logical.


Quite right, Spock.


However, das Kommandant bin a morseman for four decades
and can't understand that the amateurs "will" take over when
the government-commercial infrastructure fails in an emergency.


Are you certain that the above reads the way you intended?


Some say that the infrastructure "always" fails. :-)


Hardwired communications infrastructure is much more likely to
fail.
All cellular phones interface to wire lines at some point.


"""I want to hear once again about how all of the infrastructure
is
never destroyed."""

Sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't. Why do you say, "never?"

Der Kommandant ich bin ****ed, he troll and troll his boot but
all his bouyancy tanks are flooded.


I have no idea what that is supposed to mean, Leonard.

Sorry, David, but I'm not very musical. I did sing "RockyRaccoon"
once
after ingesting some bad branch water. I feel much better now.

Der Kommandant wants to be Daddy Warbucks and have everyone
sing "Tomorrow" from the musical "Annie."

Unfortunately, the sun DID come out, and many years before.
But,
struggling to work Frenchmen out of band, he was too busy to
notice.

Und zo, kleine newsgroupies, der Kommandant keeps snarling
black for white all the time as if he were In Charge. He has NO
verification that all amateurs can do as the ARRL states that
all
amateurs do, hasn't claimed he has done it hisself, and
therefore
tries to shift gears in his own shiftless way by going to
extremes.


Is this your attempt to appear demented?

Occasionally I get some spam mail that kind of reads like that..


It's the usual old, tired bull**** by the PCTA extras: Attack
the
messenger when they can't send a reply on the subject.

WoW! I would never have expected to see that statement tacked onto
the
end of a vicious personal attack!

I don't know WHY you wouldn't expect it, Mike!

Lennie's whole schtick is about being able to be a victim.

His whole career has been about being second place. Even when
he's been at the ehad of his class, he's attacked any and all arond him
as being "against" him. That's why he's never been at the head of the
class for long. That's why his only "professional" writings were in an
Amateur Radio journal.

Excuse me, Leonard, but it certainly looks as if that is precisely
what
you have done. My words to "bb" were about a subject. You have
drifted
off on a sea of German phrases.

And pseudo-German at that. It's Lennie's way of inferring that we
are Nazis, Brownshirts, etc etc etc. He's said as much before.

If I did't know better, I would say that Len doesn't like you very
much......

Lennie doesn't like anyone, Mike, and that INCLUDES Lennie. He
has no dignity or self-respect. A man that did wouldn't allow himself
to be so readily made a fool of over and over and over again. But he
DOES, and that alone speaks volumes of the character (or should I say
LACK of character) of the person.

Brian, this newsgroup be DIFFERENT than any other newsgroup.


You may be gaining some insight, Leonard. If this newsgroup wasn't
different from any other newsgroup, there'd be no need to have more than
one newsgroup.


Everything gets redefined into what the PCTA extras want. It's
"their" hang-out, "their" little chat room where everything and
anything NOT involving morse code can be talked about, solved,
and all those against the morse code test can be defamed and
denigrated at their pleasure.


You're leaving something out: It is a place where you can hang out,
rant endlessly on something in which you play no part and snipe at
amateur radio and radio amateurs.


The PCTA extras are "superior."


It probably just seems that way to a guy with an inferiority complex.


They get angry into hissy-fits
when some of us don't kiss their divine I/O ports.


I don't even know where my divine I/O port is.

If it is what I think it is, I got news for everyone. Mine is output
only! ;^)

Don't be surprised, Len. I've seen grown men obsess over things in
which they are not even involved, spending countless hours of their
lives bellowing over issues involving areas in which they aren't even
participants; things which don't effect them in the least. Go

WHOA!

I thought that loud noise I heard was a sonic boom, but it was
Dave's hammer hitting Lennie's nail square on the head! Heard it all
the way in Tennessee!

Nice job!

Brian, we are going to have to get you to learn how to quote the
person you are replying to on the new Google.

Your "replies", without some sort of background as to their intent
and purpose, are meaningless.

Meaningless or not, it's still a bit confusing to tell who's
responding to who/what/why, etc.

I found the way...I find that when you first sign in and "repond"
to a post in Google, it shows the responded-to post. However if you
try to go directly to another repsonse, it won't do it.

I just hit the "sign out" link, then re-enter...A bit laborious,
but it allows others to see in what context I am responding. Even when
it's meaningless! =)

Each posting in google has a "reply" button below it. Using this reply
button doesn't quote text. Above in the header is a "show options"
button. When I invoke the options, there is an identical "reply"
button. This reply does quote text, but I don't always remember to go
there first.
