Default Where does the expertise of today's Radio Ham lie?

You have not told me the difference between one end of a resistor and
the other despite my polite, earnest, request for more information. To
ignore a straightforward question like this is, IMO, very ungentlemanly
and against the spirit of amateur radio - especially as you introduced
the subject.

G8IZY seems to be asking me why I fail to respond to questions that are put
to me by those whose style is indicative of a childish disposition wishing
to
cause insult. I think the answer to that seeming question is in the question
itself.

Such childish outbursts do nothng for the PR of Ham Radio and should
be ignored.



I repeat my question word for word;

"Gareth, would you please enlighten me. Apart from reading the value
and, for aesthetic reasons - what is the difference between the two ends?"

That seems like a reasonable question to me. Perhaps you are unable to
answer it because you don't know the answer despite your statement;

How, then, can it be possible to issue Ham Radio licences
to those who cannot tell one end of a resistor from the other?


I'm still waiting.
