You're "all else being equal" disclaimer is silly, Jim. When talking about
human beings, there is never a time when all else is equal. Regardless, by
your logic, all else being equal, since I've posted more messages in this
ham radio-related newsgroup than most (perhaps even you), and computers are
used in connection with ham radio to send similar messages, that alone makes
me "more qualified" and "more experienced" AS A HAM RADIO OPERATOR than most
(perhaps even you). Of course, that very premise is absurd, isn't it? And
your premise is equally absurd. In my opinion, only a truly desperate person
would grasp at a tiny thread like this to support a claim that they're "more
experienced" or "more qualified" than someone else.
