Oh. Just cluelessness then.

The arrogance of the Germans. Anyone who disagrees with them must be
"clueless".

Has it ever occurred to you that you might actually *be* clueless?

Praising "Microsoft's excellent internet/networking software" is a good
indicator that you are; Internet Explorer, Outlook Express and the MS
"Firewall" being cases in point.

We can take this to alt.flame or alt.bash.the.germans if you like; it's up
to you, but do me a favor, don't try to sell me a Lincoln President as the
perfect QSK rig.

It'd be beneath you.

Or you could take it to alt.who.gives.a.**** too, that might work.

WTF does Linux vs. Windows have to do with Dee-X or the ARRL?

Absolutely right, Bill. I have been down exactly the same road.

Of course the ham advocates will simply tell us that we are "too
stupid" or "too technically inept" to get their so-called HF-Dxing
stuff working properly.

It's a form of snobbery.

Sounds right.
