Better things? Playing with your CB set, perhaps?

Anything else is CB Radio, perhaps in its insidious form of

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.

And KC7GR is no exception.

Usenet is as full of kooks and trolls today as it
was when it came into being (probably more so, actually). This group is
no exception.

I think that if there is any trolling being done, it is being
done by the rather infantile and silly escapee from the
school playground who is being quoted below?

Perhaps she or he is a closet CBer who is furious at
being outed?

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.

Ham Radio has traditions of gentlemanly behaviour.

CBers reveal themselves every time that they use the keyboard.....

Bull****. The spirit is to have fun, something you are obviously
missing with the level of mental retardation you are displaying here.
If you're not having fun, then why not find a new hobby?

Well Duh on me. My son and I did a father/son project some 25 years ago
and all this time I thought I was a real radio ham. Is there another
type of Ham other than a real radio Ham? That is the only type of Ham
you ever mention is a "real radio Ham". I must be what ever is left on
your list of "Hams", I surly can't design and build anything close to
the equipment I operate, my son can't either, but then he is only a
computer engineer, not a real Ham engineer. Actually, I can't design
any real ham equipment. I did copy and build a keyer out of QST that a
real radio Ham designed and built, and a Ten Tec 40 meter QRP
transceiver, but alas, it was a kit. A real radio Ham person designed
that beautifull thing and all I did was put it together following some
very easy step-by-step instructions provided. But I tell you I felt
like it's proud father when it worked when I tried it out! When I get
to heaven perhaps Jesus will be my Elmer and help me become a real radio
Ham. I sure love this hobby. I just hate that I'm sooo,....DUH!

A _REAL_ Radio Ham has the spirit to tackle and be effective
in any technology that is germane to her station.

I don't see anywhere there where it says that a REAL radio ham can
write software..
