[LOGic] LoTW - be sure to thank Dennis ... and shoot the MORONS

CAUTION !   Rant commences now ... spin that dial now or keep reading ...

(yes upper case means I am @#$%^ing YELLING!)



I have SIX certificates. It was a PITA that I couldn't process all at once.
SO I have to ask - what in the #$%^ is up with that? Who the #$%^ is the
lunatic with this brain cramp?

The FCC issues US hams amateur radio licenses good for 10 years. (Didn't
England just announce non-expiratory licenses??) OK, so here in the good old
USA, improper use of one's license can carry severe criminal and financial
penalty under certain circumstances.  This is PRICELESS - Certificates are
only good for WHAT? ONE FREAKIN YEAR??  And what is the REAL impact if LoTW
is not as secure as Fort Knox?  Who is going to be dragged into court? Go to
Jail? Pay stiff fines? I can see it now in the jail room holding cell ...
"What are you in jail for?"

"I was pretty bad. I counterfeited my LoTW certificate AND a bunch of QSL
cards. What are you in here for?"

"Not much compared to you. I stole several thousand of my employee's
retirement accounts and now they have no financial future."

PUT IT INTO PERSPECTIVE YOU MORONS.


OK, get this ... my password is on what? It's on a FLIPPIN POSTCARD.
YOU IDIOTS, when was the last time you setup online banking, bill payments,
etc. and could only gain access after receiving a post card? YOU MORONS!
WHY A BLOODY POSTCARD ? (another cramp in the loonie's brain, or is that
loonies' ?) Again - OUT OF PERSPECTIVE. IT'S A HOBBY YOU MORONS!

This is so beautiful - - so demonstratively typical of big government run by
LUNATICS, MORONS, and IDIOTS who haven't a CLUE - - ready for this?
Isn't it ironic that we have to RECEIVE A FREAKIN POSTCARD SO WE DON'T HAVE
TO RECEIVE POSTCARDS?  (But I still LOVE new QSL cards in my mailbox - the
one outside my house, not in my computer)  Send this gem to Gallagher, he
will have a field day with it.

So we don't want counterfeit QSL "cards".  HEY LUNATICS - THINK ANY OF THE
PAPER CARDS PROCESSED TO DATE ARE COUNTERFEIT? THINK THEY COULD BE EASILY
COUNTERFEITED? If you answer "no" and "no", you need to be COMMITTED TO THE
CLOSEST INSTITUTION. RUN. RUN FAST. DON'T WALK. GET THERE NOW!!

Who the @#$% dreamed up this OVERKILL? IT'S A HOBBY. WHY THE OVERKILL?
How do we get idiots like these out of the gene pool?  <Insert the famous
movie line spoken by Jackie Gleason to his stupid son while chasing Smokey
and the Bandit>

By the way - don't get me wrong. LoTW is a great idea - it has JUST BEEN
MADE TOO FREAKIN COMPLICATED FOR A HOBBY!

RANT OFF.

That's enough for now ... Sometime I'll tell you all how I REALLY FEEL ABOUT
THIS LoTW OVERKILL.


Phew. I feel better now. You can now let the women and children out and get
the cat out from under the bed.
