It IS your intention to insult them, just behind their backs so you run
less risk of them replying. Your post was not really intended as an
"FAQ", it was purely a relatively "safe" release for your personal
anger. Wuss.
If you must start seeing this as a class system, look up "Amateur" in a
dictionary. Please consider the meaning of the word before suggesting
that an "Amateur" is above the professionals who design and build
equipment to the standards set by Governments, standards far above that
required by an *amateur* producing equipment for his own personal use.
Comparing, as you call them, "disgraceful Class Ber's" to 6 year old
children is clearly intended to insult people.
Please think before displaying such ignorance and stupidity by blaming
CBers for the rules... they have absolutely NO CONTROL over such
matters. CBers neither set the rules nor claim to represent "members",
that woukld be Ofcom and the RSGB. CBers do NOT see Amateur and CB as
"sisters", it is people like the RSGB, the RA and Ofcom and a certain
magazine publisher who see it that way and make decisions to mix,
combine and change rules and formats.
Any sensible CBer would prefer to keep Amateur and CB separate, as they
are separate services for totally different purposes.
If you must get so angry, do yourself a couple of favours...
1. Blame and whine at the correct people, those able to make the
changes. 2. Watch your blood pressure, OM.
I agree with keeping the Amateur requirements higher. I agree that it
is now too simple, and has been for some years. I believe that Amateur
radio should be for those with a real interest in radio, and tests
should be set to allow those people through - not to get the licence
figures up. But it's pointless blaming people for taking what is on
offer, sitting the test required to get their licence.

It was a well thought out piece of typing. It didnt seem insulting to me in
any way... childish insults.... seems that a few Amateurs on this newsgroup
do nothing but "childish insults" which are normally aimed at the CB'ers
because, like you, they have no real point to put. They just want to feel
clever and superior. Believe me... your not.... your far from it.
So why dont you address the points Pete actually put or do they ring so true
in your ears you have no answer to give .... i think so...

If you really believe that it was "riddled with childish insults", then you should back
that up with specifics... which parts are "childish insults" and who are they offending?
Anything less, and I will assume that you accept that your post was in error, that you
made some mistake in your interpretaion.


illustrates well that you are a CBer.

As this is cross-posted to a CB group, and you decide to insult such people, you should
expect people who use CB to be among the people responding.
However, if by "CBer", you refer to someone who uses CB as a form of communication,
then you have shown how stupid it is to make assumptions.
