Yep, says so right there on QRZ

So, again, your point is...???

A bit of self effacing humor,
get someone to explain it to you.

And while you're at it, have them explain it to -you-.

Although you may (or may not) have meant it that way, it came across as
more or less of a slam against so-called "typical" hams rather than
self-effacing humor.

Finally, from Wikipedia:

Self-deprecation [self-effacing] is a form of humor in which people make jokes about themselves...

Sorry, but any reference to -you- in there was weak or unclear, so
that's probably why I didn't take it as self-effacing humor. Also,
unless someone went to a separate site to look it up, you made NO
reference to your age; unfortunately, the lack of those two reference
points made it difficult for others to divine that it was "self-effacing".

Nice spin, but no cigar. :-)
