I'm not talking about references or analogies, Clint. I'm talking about
Larry's specific use of the word "superior" to describe those with code
skills and the word "inferior" to describe those without such skills.


Oh, okay... well, I figured a reference would be enough, and t hough
I know i've seen the word superior itself used before, it just hasn't been
with as much frequency as that of a mere attitude showing same...
I think one is just as abhorrant as the other; what's more, it simply is
not conducive to an environment that makes the hobby more attractive
to new potential hams (and remarks have been made about that from
newbies in here)... on the one hand, you read things in the ham
radio books and mags about friendly and helpful communities in ham,
peaceful coexistence in the ranks, etc....

And THEN you come in here and read some PCTA'ers downing,
and I quote, "CBplussers", talking about "cobra HF radios" and using
deragotory remarks using the old 11 meter 10 codes, talking about
no code hf'ers, and one fellow even going so far as to recommend a
new license type call for those who advance after the morse code testing is
removed, so they can all be recognized by the old gaurd and "not
talk to them".. how childish can you get!
