As both an active ham radio operator and a stamp collector, to

Good letter - Let 'em have it, Steve.

I am always dishartened by the likes of statements found in the Times
article regarding an individuals hobby and/or interests. Sadly, too many
folks subscribe to a common thought process that unless it is golf, tennis
or some other main-stream thing pursued by many, then folks
that do things like amateur radio, stamp collecting, antique car
restoration,
model railroading, etc.are viewed as kooks.

I don't push my interests on anyone, but I do get steamed when folks
denigrate interests they don't share.

Cheers,
