I have to agree with nospam, which, if you know me, means a lot.
o My credibility is 100% (well, 99.999%!) on facts (typos happen).

The problem with consummate politicians like Steve is they expect us to
actually believe their shill' bullshit if they keep repeating it enough.

Clearly, we need _adults_ on this ng to hold Steve's bullshit to the fire.
1. Steve's cites are a decade old;
2. Most are forum rants (one was labeled "Communism" for God's sake);
3. Some are clearly click-bait shills;
4. His coverage maps weren't labeled as to date, time, or even carrier; 
5. Worse, two of his cites concluded the _opposite_ of what Steve claimed.

Steve is a consummate bullshitting politician.
o That means he's so used to bullshit, he thinks we _believe_ his bullshit.

I've been all over the Santa Cruz Mountains, for decades, on Verizon, AT&T,
and T-Mobile (sequentially) where their coverage is just about the same.

And I don't shill for any of them.
o I don't get paid by any (Steve almost seem to be paid by Verizon).

Way up in the mountains, and I mean way up on the top, miles and miles away
from the highway and towns, where nobody has any city utilities other than
electrical and phone wires (i.e., no gas, no water, no septic, and no cable
or DSL), the closest cellular tower for _any_ company, is miles away.

With a few hilltops scattered in between.
o Such that we get our Internet from the air.

In our case of living in the Santa Cruz Mountains, all three companies will
lend you a cellular repeater or a femtocell for your home and its environs,
but on the main roads and in the towns, all three are the same in the "Bay
Area Counties" that Steve speaks of in terms of coverage.

Why does Steve bullshit us to much about his vaunted Verizon coverage?
o I don't know why.

I just know that he does.

In summary, it's rare that I will echo nospam's sentiment, but you folks
know I'm 100% credibile as I have no ax to grind whether it's Verizon,
AT&T, or T-Mobile.

I would like to ask any _adults_ on this newsgroup to hold Steve's bullshit
claims to the fire by asking for _credible_ cites backing up his bullshit
claims.
