Garigue:

True, I would get very little or no enjoyment out of poking fun at
people with REAL disabilities--not disabilities someone imposes upon
oneself...

.... so, kinda of obvious I suspect some may be able to rise above the
low levels of self-serving motivations they have sunk too... and these
are the ones I poke fun at--ya suppose? grin

.... however, my optimism has not been well placed..

Yep, more attacks, no solutions offered... but then, that is quite
natural for here... now back to:

1) analyze the problem to death.
2) claim there is nothing wrong
3) claim even if there is something wrong, nothing will work to fix
it.
4) pretend no one notices what is really going on
5) go back to the few old guys on the net and rant with them.
6) pretend that we will live forever
7) argue one new license a year is enough
8) don't ask the people who are NOT hams why they don't get a license
9) if they tell us why--deny that it is a valid reason
10) carry on as if it is still yesterday.
11) etc, etc, etc...

... yawn...

First of all John I see little humor in this discussion bringing into
the
mix those poor souls with Alzheimer's syndrome ..... It is like the
idiot
who posts here with references to colostomy bags ...... I sincerely
hope
that either of you never have to go through that in your lives.

I am still awaiting John for specifics on what you have done to
foster an
appreciation in younger people for the service.
General bitching about the way things are won't cut it ...that my
friend is
too easy and is the tact of a pontificating twit. Yesterday was a day
I
will always remember at our club meeting. Matt, a teen with a LD
passed his
no code. He studied his backside off for the test ....took it 3 times
before. I have more respect for that young fellow than incessant
moaners I
see on this list and in other places.
