Subj : Re: to ponder ETs out there.. To : Wilfred van Velzen From : Ed Vance Date : Wed Nov 20 2024 20:15:36 Hi Wilfred I apologize for misspelling Your Name. Seriously, My reason for using a Bulletin Board is to learn from others who write about their successes, failures and wants. If I don't see a grin at the end of a statement I accept what's written as facts. After getting a Novice Amateur Radio Operators License I became a member of an older Club instead of the Club the younger Hams that I knew belonged to. I figured that I would learn more by associating with the older Hams than I could from the Club my friends were members of. Years later I was a member of both clubs. and learned many Hams there were also in both Radio Clubs. I am sorta like Sargent Joe Friday - Just The Facts, Mam (Sir). Sorry again for Ed's Head (C) TM not remembering the correct spelling of Your Name. I have got and written posts to You years back when the home computer system had SLMR and MultiMail Readers on them where I saw the message header at the top of the screen "I think" even when I scrolled far down in a message I was replying to in a QWK packet. Haven't got the BIG BOX PC turned on to see if the thoughts I just wrote were correct. Lots of people I talk to just shake their heads as they walk away from Me especially after I say: " Z Y X W V U T S R Q P O N M L K J I H G F E D C B A" to them very rapidly, on a good day I can say that in 3.5 seconds. In the 60 years of saying the Alphabet backwards three times young girls (8th Graders) have finished before I got to A. There is always Something or Someone to keep Me humble. That's a Fact. I see another Reply from You in this forum, hope I spell Wi?fred correct in that post .
