Steve managed to paint himself into a corner with his mindless anti-BBS rant
again, most of which he picked up from his buddies at TAPR. I've seen him
make this same mistaken claim several times in the past here, and I've seen
him being corrected on it several times. No "learning process" appears to
have occurred.
It seems that Steve has found himself to be most comfortable as a LandLine
Lid by simply ignoring any inconvenient or embarrassing facts. This steepens
his personal "learning curve" to the point where fresh insight or a broader
view is not very likely to occur. A good TAPR man.
At some level, even Steve knows that the standard repertoire of LandLine Lid
anti-BBS propaganda is so much crapola, but he parrots the same tired old
lies and half-truths over and over again anyway, lacking the imagination to
come up with fresh lies, and lacking the character and self-respect needed
to show any preference or respect for the truth.
Kind of like the deal with European Internet access... The fact that
European Hams did not throw up their hands and give up on Packet Radio
because of the Internet is MOST INCONVENIENT to the average LandLine Lid or
TAPR goon. They simply MUST BELIEVE that European Hams do not have Internet
access, and they must parrot this "party line" endlessly, no matter how
often they hear that it's simply wrong - from European Hams.
It's just not convenient for Steve to display an ability to understand these
issues because he knows that he is wrong, and to display even average
objectivity and intelligence would inevitably lead him to the position of
having to admit that his precious "party line" is a series of misleading
half-truths and good old-fashioned lies.
Remember the "Applications Mantra", debunked in the article below? More of
the same.

Steve's intellectual bankruptcy is common to the LandLine Lid folks. So is
his negativity and constantly expressed anti-Ham sentiments, and his often
expressed dissatisfaction with the requirements for decency and
non-commercial operation laid down in PART97.
As a LandLine Lid, Steve cannot help displaying the crippled intelligence
and defective character the role he has chosen requires.
Personally, I think he's a perfect representative of the LandLine Lid set,
and would make a great LandLine Lid "poster boy". Many times, Steve's posts
have been invaluable resources for me when pointing out just what is wrong
with LandLine Lids, and their alleged "reasoning".

Marine Radio Control, Release 1 for Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT and
Windows 2000 available now.
Muscle Shoals, Alabama. March 10, 2000 Creative Services Software announces
MRC, Release 1, a new 32-bit radio control program for the ICOM M700 PRO,
M710 PRO and M710 PRO-R, is now available. The program retails for $49.95

in these radios.
This new product will allow mariners and hams who have these ICOM radios to
control them remotely from their computer. It makes tuning these radios as
easy as using a VFO on other radios. From the program you can change
transmit and receive frequencies, set the mode, and tune the antenna on the
fly.
Free 1.x upgrades will be available for the product.
It runs under Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT and Windows 2000.

Gee Brian, I hope you don't rely on the ionosphere when you DX -- that
