Yeah, you hit the nail on the head. Amateur radio has been driven by a
weird group of "initiation fanatics." Like they are kinda "inducting"
ya into a cult or somethin'. Or, kinda like joinin' the masons. Weird
group who never outgrew high school and college frat initiations into
"secret societies."

Actually, this would be good group for Art Bell to do a show
on--"amateur frat initiates" ... If the pyramids were here in the US,
they'd use them as the "initiation temple." erie music plays here

Me, I just grabbed the mic and set my own style, course never suffered
from "mike fright" here. Never had a strong need to "feel a part of" or
that I needed others to increase my own self worth. Never found the
"official flock of sheep" had that much to offer either.

But hey, to each their own ...

Everyone has to do it like They did...blah, blah, blah. :-(

Veddy FORMAL in everything, absolutely CORRECT
protocol or one faces "ex-communication."

"That's the way 'we' do it..." is the rationale, only proving
that They think they own the turf.

Yep, those guys are here alright.

Now don't get me wrong. Intelligent, organized, logical, structured and
mutually respective exchanges over the waves I SUPPORT!

Good ole boy rules I don't have much use for, I am not a "joiner"
either. One-on-one rag chews, and a few old guys chewin' the rag on a
subject all enjoy is where it is at--non-formal--relaxed ...

Strange, the few I do exchange conversation with are kinda like me, I
like it that way. If you are a non control freak, I'll most likely
enjoy ya', whether you agree with me or not.

My BIGGEST turnoff? Pseudo-military, self-important-bags-of-hot-wind!
