Why? I assume you really mean that the current crop of new hams needs
education. Have you done anything? How many new hams have you elmered?

A few dozen over the years, maybe over 100. I never kept count. Do I
still do it? No, the people I elmered are elmers now. And some of
the people THEY elmered are elmers. It's time I hung up my "elmer
spikes".
