Oddly enough, virtually all the "extras" I met during my tenure as a
"non-extra" didn't consider themselves Einsteins either. Now that I'm an
Extra, I do not consider myself an Einstein either.

It seems that only a small subset of hams (and non-hams) who post to this
forum seem to run into these self-proclaimed Einstein Extras.

But then, if you read their postings long enough, you'll begin to
understand that this bias towards Extras really isn't due to the fact
these extras are self-proclaimed Einsteins, but rather the fact that these
Extras passed a 20wpm code test at one point or another.

I believe the bias goes even deeper. ?Even if code were not an issue, that
bias would still exist simply because the Extra has met a higher written
requirement too. ?

Dee, I believe you are the first Extra to recognize that not all
writtens are the same. ?Since the beginning of the code debate, and
now with the passing of the code exam, we are made to believe that the
writtens are a mere insignificant formality and all the real content
was in the code exam.

Of course that's not true. ?Thank you for being and Extra and pointing
that out. ?You are a No Code Technician in spirit!

In today's society, it seems to be politically incorrect
to have acquired more knowledge than someone else.

Dee, N8UZE

Never. ?Just don't equate the Extra exam or having Extraness as if it
were an engineering degree. ?We'll get along Quitefine.

...and if we send like Slow Code... :-)

Who knows how Vince sends code? I sure don't.

Hopefully he doesn't send code poorly so that a No Code Technician
with a computer can't copy it.
