Hold about a bit matey boy... Just because someone uses a CB doesnt make
them a lower class person or less intellectual than an Amateur radio user.
They may have brains far exceeding yours on several topics, just not on
radio. Just because you know a bit about radio doesnt make you a higher
class of person... IT JUST MEANS YOU KNOW ABOUT RADIO'S..... now try
learning common sense, respect for ones fellow man and remember.. Amateur
Radio.. Just like CB.. is JUST A HOBBY...
I love the bit though where you say "it is neither my wish to insult them"
but you manage to do it anyhow...
10-4 over and out .. or in your case QRT..

Because although CBers are in a different intellectual
class to Radio Hams, it is neither my wish to insult
them nor to enter into a discourse with them.

CBers have the right to besport their habits in the
appropriate place as do all the lower classes, which
in this context is rrcb (and urrcb).

Poly Parrot has forgotten he has owned a CB and a license (still does, I
expect), ignore him.. having been arrested he is a prime example of what
amateur radio has descended to.

Does he get on there with a linear and talk to W4LLI, Billy Jack like
he used to do on 75/80 meters?

Hi Hully,
Unfortunately there are a few like him on the Amateur band. Its a shame
really. Its meant to be a hobby after all and his attitude will put many
prospective new Amateurs off as they will see it as an unfriendly place. Not
good for the cause..
Regards,
Graham

Are you referring to me dear boy? Now perhaps you could explain your
remarkable assumption. Perhaps its the bit where i dont pamper to the
"mighty Amateur holier than tho attitude" .. who knows, ill wait for your
reply..

Yet another reason I will never obtain a ham ticket. You seem to think that
your little piece of paper raises your IQ.

Good news for ham radio!

Yet with you cber IQ you couldn't pass the test even though the answers
to the questions are available.

Yep, there will be no one left on Ham soon after all the old farts have
died...

Try taking an IQ test and i bet theres hardly any difference between you and
most people on CB. The only test you would outshine most CBers would be
radio related...

I doubt he knows as much about radio than I do. And from what I have read of
his posts, his IQ is certainly lower than my 147
