Latest editorial "Are we letting ourselves down?" by Peter Kirby. I
thought it was going to be something about the RSGB and/or the General
Manger. I was wrong.

I can't really disagree with what Peter Kirby says. He expresses my
sentiments completely (and, I'm sure, many contributors to this NG).

However, I do rather object to the use of 'us' and 'we'. Please include
ME out!

In the case that 'us' and 'we' refer to the wider amateur community,
could either of you expand a little on the somewhat bald statements
made, or give a url?

If vulgar language is being proscribed, then it is a direct
criticism of the RSCB's director who regularly describes
others as, "Dog Turds", and describes wives as being
sheep in the bed.

GB3SL, and probably several other repeaters, were closed down, because
of such behaviour, long before that. I remember GB3WL having such
problems a least a decade earlier.

I am reminded of the quotation (Shakespearian? Biblical? Aristotelian?
Koranian?)
that those who sow the wind will reap the whirlwind.

The RSCB have been cultivating the turnips for several years and now
the RSCB are reaping what they sowed.

It also seem very hypocritical to be saying to those turnips that the RSCB
wanted
the turnips' money, desperately, but now that the RSCB has got the money,
the RSCB
doesn't actually want the turnips.

(Who would want a diet of turnips, anyway, when you can lord it up on
weekend
jollies in 5-star hotels at the subscribing members' expense?)

Perhaps someone in the RSGB has finally realised that the standards
have fallen and is now asking questions why ?
(when it was obvious to many long ago)
But by now the problem has got so big that it's too late to fix it.


But remember folks... The FL saved amateur radio !!!

The precise mutterings of an overpaid clerk at whose desk the buck stops for
the responsibilty of the lavatories, are somewhat irrelevant to Ham Radio
and to this NG.

Presumably you meant "on the RSGB website" (and not in the 'Members'
Enclosure', of course). Maybe it will appear (once the ink on the latest
issue of RadCom is dry).

As it does indeed apply to 'all' radio amateurs, it would certainly be a
good idea to make it available for all to read.

The (possibly obscure) point I was trying to make was that Germany
started all this, and the people of all those countries suffered as a
result.

Until the Normandy invasion the war could only be taken to Germany by
the RAF, and Harris - like all commanders throughout history - had to
work with what was to hand. To single out Harris in the way the OP did
is to ignore the causus belli - which was Hitler's Germany. He has
ignored the fact that they chose guns before butter, and got battered
as a result.

The biggest villains were the USA, with the callous bombings of
Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Cities previously left untouched so they could
test the effects of the new atomic weapons. Why not a military target?
Not to mention the firebombing of Tokyo, 97,000 killed and 125,000
wounded.

I'm saying there's more to your assertion that the RSGB are merely book
publishing companies. Doesn't the ISWL also publish "Books" and
magazines? Apart from a buro they need the RSGB to operate for incoming
cards, the odd award and contest they don't seen to do much more. Are
the ISWL just a book and magazine publishing organisation? I don't think
so but by your definition they may be.

The only difference is if the ISWL goes bust owing money or is sued for
something it prints in Monitor every member is personally liable for the
debt as they are a non incorporated body in which every member has joint
and several liability.

And you should be worried that you're not! It has properly protected
its members in this way since 1926.

But that's wrong.

WWII started when Britain declared war. Up to that point all that
had been happening was that Germany had been extending its colonialism,
and such action was indistinguishable from Britain with its empire.

Harris and the riff-RAF unders him were a murderers.

The actions of others do not excuse murder.

The behaviour of religionists and their organisations is irrelevent to
Ham Radio and to this NG.

By drawing a paraller thereto, the representatives of the RSCB who
post into this NG, aka, "The Twofaceitude", they suggest that the RSCB
is equally irrelevant to Ham Radio and to this NG.

Your grasp of history is very poor, Korea was not more WW3 than the

That is regrettable because it was always a "must-visit" when on any
train journey up to London*****. (I note in the flyleaf that the 386
processor
manual I am reading at the moment was purchased there in May 1991)

*****Despite being a railway enthusiast, I rarely travel by train, the last
time being August 2006.

Can't you get anything right? General and Regional Managers have NO
responsible what so ever under the Companies Act by way of these
positions. The General Manager is not a member of the Board of Directors
of the Company and a Regional Manager would have to be separately
elected to the Board before he would be a Director. Being a Regional
Manager is not enough.

For a Director to be liable for the companies debt he would have had to
provide personal financial guarantees or committed a criminal offence
under the Companies Act. For an ex director of a company yourself you
are remarkable ignorant of company law. When will do the honourable
thing and honourer your commitment to this NG and go?.

So by your definition we are up to World War 65, due to the 63 UN
military actions since 1945!!

Len, Gareth confabulates his postings to try and cause trouble. The factual
content is minimal, if it exists at all.

Just ignore him.

If the whole world is involved, then it's a world war, pretty much
like the current war against the Muslim religionists

That's a bit rich coming from someone known to be a LIAR, and
currently dissembling that he is a LIAR by now calling
himself a Registered Ass.
