% I agree with paragraph one.
% 
% Paragraph two I don't agree with.  It's been stated quite a number of times 
% of the last several months that I've been reading (and attempting to 
% contribute to this newsgroup) that a small percentage of the Amateur 
% operators that read this group are out to show, "Hey, I'm smarter, cuz I 
% studied up and got a ham ticket."  
% 
% Now, I don't flaunt the fact that I have a commercial radiotelephone license 
% in their faces, so I don't.  I back it up with facts (Re: the cable 
% situation) and let it go.
% 
% I just wanted to show the rest of the group where Tiffany was coming from; 
% obviously, her Tech Plus has been wasted on someone that can be a real pain 
% on the air.
% 
% I agree with paragraph three 100%.  'Nuff said.

        I agree with Michael a hundred percent myself.....Nets are Nets,
and E-Mail is E-mail.....
        2nd, (this may sound familiar...)...Just because You studied up for
Your Radiotelephone License and passed the test does not mean that I have
any sort of respect for you becayse of that....
        Technically, someone could say the same thing about *your* license,
couldn't they......that any Moron could memorize the theory and principles
to get it, right?
        I don't appriciate your insenuation that I just "Memorized the
Answers" to get my license.  That isn't a very fair accusation to make. 
True, the answers Can be memorized, but it is much more Easy (for myself
anyway...) to go ahead and learn the theory behind the answers. (That way,
I don't get confused in case of trick questions.....several questions are
very close, but are worded slightly differently....)
        My point is that Anyone can Memorize Anything to get Any
license....It's just a question of what a person memorizes....Theory...Or
just questions...(You hafta learn (which involves Memorization...) theory
for these tests.....and you sorta hafta *know* some of the stuff because if
I didn't know the difference between black w/white stripe and black wires,
tip and ring, and such, I could either damage my equipment or get myself
hurt....I don't urge Any prospective new ham (that's new to electronics as
well...) to just memorize the answers....that's senseless.
        I wouldn't say my license is wasted....at least you don't have one
and I don't hafta talk to you on the repeater, right? :-)
