Amateur radio in general seems to be one of the most conservative

As a result there is a great deal of insularity (a sort of "dielectric
materialism") which, in turns, breeds even more conservatism.

I'm so glad I re-read this one - I missed that pun the first
read-through. Simply excellent.

It wasn't meant as a pun, Mike. He's being insulting. Again.

It's the "dielectric materialism" that's the pun, Steve. Whatever the
other content of the post is, that was a great play on words, and was
pretty hilarious.
