EV>Howdy! Daryl,   
      
     Hi, Ed...   
      
   EV>Hey!, Thanks!!!!, I like being correct once in a while, instead of being   
   EV>corrected all the time.   
      
     I'm not always right, but I'm never wrong (hi hi).   
      
   EV>Sorry about the Typo on Your Name in another Reply.   
   EV>At least now You know I don't use a Script that makes the second line in   
   EV>a Reply, only the first line is made by settings I have in MultiMail.   
      
     You have fat finger syndrome, as I do. But, without fat fingers, how   
   do you pick up the food and the silverware?? (hi hi).   
      
   EV>Last year I tried a Search on DuckDuckGo.com to learn about what You said   
   EV>about Vibroplex getting lots of orders for Bugs, but couldn't find a link   
   EV>to anything like that.   
      
   EV>Would You have a URL about people recently learning CW because they *WANT*   
   EV>to? ? ??? ??? ? ?   
      
     That's what I understood. Bear in mind that the CW requirement ended   
   over 11 years ago now.   
      
   EV>That saying doesn't apply to me.   
      
     I will admit when I'm wrong...I like to be sarcastic every now and   
   then, when I'm in one of my nether moods.   
      
   EV>My reason for thinking it was stupid is that the VEC Organization is asking   
   EV>a Ham who's License expired to complete a exam for a Class of License LOWER   
   EV>than the one the Ham had taken for the HIGHER Class License.   
      
     Well, the FCC made the decision of revising the rules for the lapsed   
   licenses...and I think there was a period of comments and reply comments   
   (I think that's an NPRM)...then they issued the decision July 21, 2014.   
      
   EV>I'm thinking on the FCC Form 610 I sent to them asking for the Novice Exam   
   EV>papers back in the Summer of 1958 asked that question about being convicted   
   EV>of a felony.   
      
     I wasn't even born yet. :P   
      
   EV>Computers do Paper Shuffeling faster that a Clerk can do it at the F.C.C.   
   EV>Office, don't they? ? ??? ??? ? ?   
      
     From what I understand, at ARRL/VEC, it takes less than a minute to   
   key in data from each NCVEC Form 605 and the paperwork. They're faster   
   typists than I am.   
      
   EV>3 years is about the same time span as the Doctor that does mine has Me   
   EV>come to see Him.   
      
     I'll miss a couple of nets before and during the procedure, but I   
   shouldn't be QRT for too long.
