About once every 2 or 3 fortnights, Jim drags out this old bedraggled
strawman.

It is always a question which in one form or another asks "I don't want
to be involved in this techie crap... I just wanna talk on ra-did-eo, so
why don't they have an amateur license for me?"

And just as regularly as Jim drags out this nontribution (no, I didn't
misspell 'contribution') to the future of amateur radio, I am compelled
to try to convince him the idea is a non-starter. But if Jim is nothing
else, he is a persistent cuss, so lurk along with me and before long
you'll see his strawman skulking again here on rrap asking......

"If I don't wanna be an amateur radio techie, why do I
gotta take these stupid tests. It just ain't fair! I'm gonna
go join the QCAO!"

Okay, I see what you are talking about.
