So far as I'm concerned it doesn't matter at all. But I wonder if this
at least partially explains the enormous chip on your shoulder and
your persistent need to somehow 'prove yourself''.


Why would building a #1 station in a market with 40 signals at age 18
require proving myself... again?


It's your behavior, so you tell me.


Perhaps you worked with people who didn't have sufficient appreciation
of what you'd accomplished. Maybe they tried to use your lack of
formal education against you in some petty, political way. Who knows?


I sure don't.

This isolated piece of your personal history could have been subtly
relevant on many occasions, the cumulative effect being the chip you
now have on your shoulder.


That "chip" is a love of broadcasting, something DXers, in some significant
proportion, seem to have lost.


But you're constantly remarking that DXers are a very small group. It
doesn't make sense that you'd be so obsessed with them if you truly
regarded them as insignificant. It's funny actually. Earlier in this
thread you said that "[t]o feel good, a few here need to discredit me
to justify their hatred of broadcasters", but no one here has sought
you out. You come to this group of your own volition, and a look at
your profile reveals that you post more here than anywhere else by a
wide margin. An interesting fact given that there are plenty of
broadcasting-related groups out there. Sorry, but your behavior is not
at all motivated by a "love of broadcasting". Nor does a love of
broadcasting rationalize your bizarre, self-aggrandizing website,
where readers find everything from your family history to the
"certificate of accomplishment" you received from some summer program
you participated in at Michigan State. People simply don't go to these
lengths unless they're grappling with feelings of shame and
inferiority. It's a pity you're unwilling to discuss them openly and
honestly.
