Now I try to help other hams and potential hams on radio and on usenet,

No you don't, you come here and grind your ax for some reason. You want
to help? Be positive about ham radio, all of ham radio and not just the
niche you want to inhabit. Open your eyes, see the whole hobby and
realize those that don't share your tastes are just as competent or
incompetent as you.

but the usenet hams are so lazy they don't want to learn anything. They
want licensing to be dumbed down some more.

Translation: They want to keep up with technology and eliminate testing
on methods that are plainly antiquated and waning in usefulness and I
don't want things to change so I don't lose my relative (perceived)
status among hams.
