Default Is this _REALLY_ the public face that we want to present for Ham Radio?

I agree. But isn't most of the noise in the newsgroups generated by
non-hams ?

I've been using newsgroups for a long time, but only recently joined the ham
groups. I don't think I've seen this amount of noise in ANY other
newsgroups for special interests. Maybe hams are more easily annoyed or
insulted than other people and thus attract more idiots ?

Also, a lot of nerdy people are interested in ham radio, and unfortunately a
lot of nerds are unable to function socially.
