Bull****. The spirit is to have fun, something you are obviously
missing with the level of mental retardation you are displaying here.

Anything else is CB Radio

If you're not having fun, then why not find a new hobby?

Anything else is CB Radio, perhaps in its insidious form of
the CBer-Masquerading-As-A-Radio-Ham

Perhaps those who replied below are closet CBers - did they
buy their rigs off-the-shelf and do they send them back to be repaired?

Well, I have been back reading the amateur radio newsgroups for
only about two weeks after abandoning them quite some time ago.
I see nothing has changed. I have better things to do with my
time.

There is some connection there. Admittedly, the idea that you have to be a

from the fact that many good hams are programmers.

Hey kid, what language do you program in? Are you a real programmer? (The
answer is no, because until you get out of school, you don't get paid to write
code.) So you're not a real programmer, just a kid.
