We're supposed to make like it's 1996 still with respect to regulation of the RF spectrum. I don't make the rules. I just offered an explanation. One is always free to contact the FCC and petition for a rule change. It's been done many times before. https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/47/1.401 https://www.fcc.gov/about-fcc/rulemaking-process Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbrun Posted September 4, 2021 Report Share Posted September 4, 2021 Respectfully, it doesn't come across as sarcasm.That is the worst think about forum’s, text messaging and emails. All the reader has to infer from are the words they read. No inflections, facial expressions, gestures or other other to alter their meaning. Words are everything when an author commits them into writing.MichaelWRHS965KE8PLM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelLAX Posted September 4, 2021 Report Share Posted September 4, 2021 Yeah, I went back and reread his criticism: Starting out with calling someone "plum crazy" is an easy way to get the other party in a mode that makes it easy to misunderstand a comment; sarcasm notwithstanding. Now that I have reread it in context, I think WRNA236 is saying that it is incongruous to use 1996 FCC rules and regulations on 2021's state of the art of technology! Perhaps his use of the term "plum crazy" was not aimed at Lscott, but at the FCC and Congress for not updating the statutory and regulatory scheme. But he could have been clearer. That being said, law and regulation always lags behind technology! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he could have been clearer. While I know it exists in the real world (mostly a regional thing, I think), gven that that's not a common phrase used on the forum , that was the first clue to me that it was hyperbole for comedic effect, along with the wording about "with all your fancy...." That said, I won't disagree it was subtle, and I know without the inflections that would go with it in person it's a lot harder to catch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
