New hams just don't appreciate things anymore.

I don't remember,
cutting wood for winter, foraging the woods for berries,
turning the crank on a model T, building a spear to kill a deer,
washing my clothes in the river, making candles to light the night.
And I do appreciate that I don't have to do these things anymore.

I have helped cut wood for winter heating. I have also foraged for
berries, actually Granny knew where to look and took me along to help
pick berries. I have never hand cranked a model T, but have watched
others do it (was tied up with winter wood cutting, the "T" drove a
belt with a rear axle wheel to drive a large circular saw) I never did
any of the other things listed, but if Granny were still here, I'd bet
she has and could describe the process. Except the spear hunting, that
was before Grannys time and on the other side of the family.

Hi Harold,
My point is, times change, peoples change, and if you want to cut
wood,
pick berries, crank a model T, or spear hunt,
Have at it, but your not out telling everybody they need to.
Mike

Right, and why homebrew anymore when you can call HRO or AES and buy your
appliance off the shelf.
why homebreww becuase you want to

there has NEVER been any requirement to Homobrew the abilty to choose
has simply improved with the demands of the Marketplace IOW becuase
YOU and your fellow hams WANTED to be able not to homebrew the market
has prodcued an envioment that by the time I was licensed hombrewing
becamse purely volontary in fact as it has always been in law

73,
Back to my CW and projects.

Gay Bashing? Gay Bashing? I didn't see any gay bashing, Mark. I DID see a
question mark behind "homobrew". How is that gay bashing? Are you overly
sensitive about your admitted bisexual proclivities?
Please cease putting words in the mouths of others, Mark. I will not allow
that to pass.
Oh, and does it irk you if I enjoy "topsotting"? Is that gay bashing, too?
The British use the term sot to describe a drunkard. As an offensive term
for one who drinks habitually, (drunkard).
If I "topsot", am I picking on Brits? Those who imbibe?

And just WHO is the controlling authority on whether I top post or not? YOU?
derisive laughter

You don't count, Mark.

Now, tell us just what is "homobrew"?

That's overkill if all you need to do is some CW.
