I, for one, am very happy that our hobby has provision to accommodate
disabled individuals, through supply of reader and scribe assistance. Why
aren't you, Frank?

Don't you start again or I'll start again, ok?

I'm not starting anything, Frank. I'm genuinely interested to understand
your POV on this, as I simply can't wrap my head around the suggestion that
provision for the disabled is a bad thing.

CB radio and PMR 446
exists for such people. This is a technical pursuit not a hobby that
was always within reach of anyone prepared to make an effort - ANYONE.
It did not need to be dumbed down to the level it has been. You *seem*
to be a clever chap Stephen you tell me why such people aren't allowed
readers and scribe assistants in their pursuit to become brain
surgeons and why such people aren't allowed to drive on our roads.

None of that remotely addresses the question, which is; why shouldn't
people with disabilities be provided services (reader and scribe) to help
them access amateur radio?
