Difficult, but not insurmountable. Remember, compassionate no-codism

Stop right there. Even the slightest upturn at the corner of your
mouth might be mistaken as gloating.

[only the NCTA are allowed to gloat... :-) ]

Openly.

Feels rather good. Time to turn things around now and let all
the coders have it as those smug, arrogant, "superior" types
have acted for the half century I've observed them. :-)

Nah. Let's just press on and accept them as the red-headed
step-children that they are. Definitely spare the rod and Spoil those
brats.

b. The PCTA make themselves look bad without any help.

OTOH they do even better by just making em SEE happy folks

They'll form support groups to try to cope.

I hope so. think we should start a fund to help out?

Compassionate No-Codism? I'm good with that.

Heh heh. Expect the ARRL to get in on the act, maybe the
"Pro-coder Compassion Supporter (or Truss?) Fund" or some
title like that...

With Carl in the ARRL, all things are possible.

Carl ANDERSON? Yeah, right, just like Brain Kallie to make
nastynoises. :-)

If I had been three or four decades older, I might have wet myself over
that one. Hi!

On the ARRL's "poll" for 5 Aug 05 and an opinion on NPRM
05-143, of the 9,484 votes cast: 48.5% said it was a fine
idea, 47.1% said it was a terrible idea, and 4.4% had no
particular opinion either way.

Looks like a concensus. Those numbers were flipped when we were told
that we had to keep the code.

[whut yu mean "we," white man?] [Tonto not hear dat...]

NCTA super-extras like Jimmie Noserve will come out with the
standard disclaimer that the website poll is "not scientific."

Yet he never, ever, ever, commented on Mike Deignan's comments that the
ARRL poll was "substantive." Hi! What a goose turd.

They are so forking predictable that one doesn't have to
think twice about what kind of rationalizations they write.

You know what they're going to say before they say it. EXTRAcept when
they goof up, Like Jim/N2EY did when he said that a code exam would be
a barrier to code use! Hi! It always was!!! Hi, hi! Where was he
when they were passing out Greenlee Punch?

Nah...let's just pick up the 2x4s and beat them over the head
with the issue...just like they used to do it to no-coders
in the last 50 years or so. I think they deserve it... :-)

Please, no.

Remember that compassionate no-codism is tolerant of faith-based modes.

Geez...TUFF requirement! Not even a little 1x1 piece of oak?

Difficult. One SO wants to get a Hasty sling, a good sight
picture, BASS, and apply just a few ounces of pressure...

Whadda hell Steve doing here?

There's "compassion" on the prarie, the badlands, and the great
West for horses that can't make it. A gun or a knife solves
their problems, provides time-tested "compassion." So it is
with the coders. They can't make it without that TEST...so
we should "do the right thing" and end their suffering.

Suffering is good for them. I think they call it Martyrdom.

I'll have to consult with Pastor Midtlyng on that and get back
to you...

bye bye

Heyo, John, off the subject but "BASS" was Breath-Aim-Sight-Squeeze
acronym in the U.S. Army of the 1950s.

If you search through past posts of Stebie da Wundermurine (K4YZ)
you will find his implied "threat" of "a few ounces of pressure"
which was, of course, in reference to the squeezing of a trigger.

Did Steve ever admit what was so obvious to everyone else?

Hence my remark that you quoted. :-)

In his emotional volatility he forgot to look to see if anyone
could shoot back, hence his continuing anger and frustration
at those who CAN and DARE to do such a thing! :-)

gun sit


That is a guaranteed inevitability. Instead of the neighbors saying,
"he was such a nice man," they'll be saying, "I knew the VA should have
kept him on his meds."

Hehehehehehehehehe...some "recon marine" he are...didn't do a recon

It's my "insidious plan," Brian. I yank out Stebie's phrases
and wait for his inevitable "IT'S A LIE!" shouting...then just
point to his own words used against him. Heh heh heh heh.

John, unload and secure your weapon. This be the

Compassionate no-codism frowns on violins in this

Compose yourself. Orchestrate a new outlook.

Ah, yes, the one with Rod Serling peering out from behind it. I had to
um, refrain from doing a double-take when I saw it/him/whatever.

Some of us could care less about compassionate no-codism, and would
much rather, uh, cello-brate. Openly. However...

Compose yourself. Orchestrate a new outlook.

I'll try to arrange it. I cannot guarantee the cooperation of others
in the movement...they may not share your symphony...er, sympathy!

Or fiddle around with radio. At your rhythm.

Actually, I've been doing just that here in my "bass" of operations,
and almost spilled coffee on my keyboard (the computer one, not the
musical instrument). Therefore, if you'll excuse me, Maestro, I'm
going to try to strike a chord that is more in harmony with tuning
around on the HF bands by bringing this message to its crescendo.
