Hi Bryan and readers,
Thanks for all the information, it sure was an eye opener! Yes, I most
certainly did have a misconception about land line forwarding store and
forward, thanks a bunch for clearing that up. Still time is a big factor
but for reasons you stated rather than the misinformation handed me by
others ill informed as I was.
My remark about a potential mess at each hop still stands however, no
node or link is perfect. I need not go into detail, you have seen the
problems and can reason out that the more you complicate a system the
higher potential for failure it has, that's what KISS is all about,
right? Sorry OM, you describe ideal conditions that don't exist in the
real world but don't misunderstand, I got your point loud and clear and
that's what really matters.
Yes, you're quite right about the US being a big country which compares
favoravly to the above. Right too about petty squabbling and a fragmented
system but a heavy hand is forcing change. See my bull to N7CXJ for
details, I really don't want to type it all over again. (;->)
Heh, once again I know all about a UK sysop having to review messages,
what a pain in the butt. Actually while it causes delays it really wasn't
considered in my comments concerning worldwide message forwarding, it's
only a problem in the UK.
I don't misunderstand at all, surely you would use radio links if you had
them. It seems that since that particular thread has been spread out over
so many topics it's hard to follow so unfortunately people in the UK end
up the ones who misunderstand ME. Just a while ago I mentioned in another
bull something in response to a UK bull regarding the Internet hijacking
bulls that should have been forwarded by the UK radio links and
considerable e-mail from the UK complaining about lost radio links. Well,
it happens everywhere for the same reason, the Internet is killing radio
but the reasons why in the UK and US are considerably different. Just
worth mentioning again for clarification, you're being arm twisted while
we are lazy, a bunch of land line lids. Like I said the US got it's wake
up call and I hope the UK gets one aimed straight at the RA so they wake
up and realize the full potential of Amateur Radio as an emergency
service rather than a mere hobby.
Consider this, if more people were like you and focus on enlightenment
rather than petty squabbling they just might accelerate the process
already begun turning me toward more positive and fewer negative
comments. Such comments are out of ignorance and in this case MY
ignorance so rather than Robert Plant John Lennon comes to mind this
time, With A Little Help From My Friends. Or maybe Richard Stark wrote
that one? (;->)
Last but not least I should mention the old saying "it's not what you say
so much as how you say it". Thanks for choosing your words carefully and
using polite form, that's what really gets a favorable response from me.
Another one is "you get more flies with honey than vinegar" and frankly
you got ME and I thank you for it.
