Default New term for LandLine Lids

N8CPA came up the new term "Liddite" to characterize those who have been
known for years as "LandLine Lids"...

While discussing the ARESCOM proposal, he says:
----------------------------------------------------
All of this appears to be born of what I call a "liddite" mindset. I use
that term because they frequently refer to those of us who question their
schemes as "luddites." It's a name we earn simply because we know the
difference between using a computer as an Amateur Radio appliance, and using
Amateur Radio as a computer appliance, as the liddites prefer and propound.
----------------------------------------------------

I think the new term "Liddite" is much better than "LandLine Lid" though I
wish there could have been an "OM" in there, as in "Liddomites", for
example.

Somehow "Liddomite" sounds more appropriate, but I guess "Liddite" is really
the best way to go.
