But, the worst cases are the nutcases who confuse a simply radio
license with a Ph.D. Those bassterds tend to be long winded, control
freaks of the most evil type, hear only their opinions, too busy giving
advise to everyone around them to take any, are avoided the by the sane
mind, etc., etc.

You know 'em, we have all seen 'em and heard 'em, even on the

Heh, I know a few old ultra-conservative tubes-are-the-latest-thing
Technician-class farts who match that description to a "T"..

And that's why I've generally found CB to be far more interesting. Not
as many crabby old farts bitching about their equipment and their
bunions and how asinine they think no-code is on CB.
