I believe that making references and using analogies that you guys are

the
adults and new, entry level hams are children pretty much describes a
superior if not condescending attitude.

That's a pretty big brush you've got there, Clint. Please reference *any*
post I've made where I said, or implied that I consider no-code hams as
children. I'll wait here.

I suspect that Clint was actually referring indirectly to some of my posts
as I have used the parent/child analogy and student/teacher analogy.
However he likes to take this as meaning a superior and/or condescending
attitude. He fails to be willing to admit that the less experienced should
take the advice of the more experienced while they develop sufficient
background to make informed choices. He has obviously missed my posts where
I have clearly said that if I were interested in satellite work, I would go
consult the most experienced satellite operator in our local club, who
happens in this case to be a Technician. I am more than willing to respect
his expertise. I would willingly, in this area, be the "child" or "student"
in learning this activity. If I doubted what he told me about satellite
work, I would first wait until I had equal experience before challenging his
experience.

However, Clint wants to challenge the issue from a point of inexperience and
feels that he should be taken seriously.
