Hi Trevor

Well, I was surprised by the animosity. If I were to regularly meet
that within on air conversations I would be quite bothered I think. I
remembered the hobby as being very gentlemanly and was therefore qute
suprised. I think I may just lurk about an some of the HF / VHF bands
and see what actually happens before deciding to get my iron out again.


I'm seeing my old mate G4GCO tonight for a few beers, no doubt we will
discuss this as well.

Thanks for the comments

Big changes for the worse......

There is no animosity expressed by urging those of a technical
bent to join us; neither is there any animosity in standing apart
from those who are not our fellows by any stretch of the
imagination.

Where there has been animosity, it has been on the part of those
who make up the groups criticised.

You are the very model of a newsgroup personality.
You intersperse stupidity with tedious banality.
Psudonyms you've plenty of; both genuine and ghosted, too,
On all the countless newsgroups that your drivel is cross-posted to.
Our bandwidth you will fritter with your whining and your snivelling,
And we're the ones who pay the bills, downloading all your drivelling.
Your enemies are numerous, and no-one would be blaming us
For cracking your head open after you've been rudely flaming us.
You hate to lose an argument (by now you should be used to it).
You wouldn't know a valid point if you were introduced to it.
Your learning is extensive but consists of mindless trivia,
Designed to fan your ego, which is larger than Bolivia.
The comments that you vomit forth, disguised as jest and drollery,
Are really just an exercise in unremitting trollery.
You say you're frank and forthright, but that's merely lies and vanity,

The gibberings of one who's on the limits of his sanity.

With apologies to Gilbert and Sullivan :-)

I rather think they'd like it, it certainly brings on a few chuckles.

It's even more impressive if you sing it to the tune of "Modern Major
General" -- the penultimate line has to be forced to scan, but the rest
flows nicely.

We are the very model of the modern radio amateur
We like to speak to countries strange while sitting in our arm-a-chair,
Our QSOs with digimodes and microphone are hard earned
(Of course we don't use rubbish like that old morse code we haven't
learned).

We have a whizzy handheld 'coz it makes us look much neater -
Of course we don't use it to talk, just key up the repeater
Except of course when 'breakers' from two streets away give us a shout,
Then we tie it up for hours, forgetting 'bout the time out.

(Then we tie it up for hours, fogetting 'bout the time out.)

We don't know what a dipole is so can't get ourselves on the air
But Echolink and E-QueSo means that we really couldn't care
With every cheaper foreign calls you'd wonder why we bother -
The answer to that mystery still hasn't been discovered.

I think this could be better - but it's Friday night, so time for even me to
go and get a life!
