Just an observation.....If I need some radio stuff, I look both here
and e-bay. In my view, my time is limited and valuable. Having FA
stuff on here wastes my time.


Thats an interesting observation! I find this circumstance to be just
the opposite for me. It is much easier to look here in this single
concise listing for ALL ham gear available, rather than having to hunt and
search through E-Bay listings, which are much more spread out than here.
Then again, I am usually looking at all gear.... browsing.... rather than
any particular piece of equipment.

When I am looking for ham gear, I am looking for specific items. A simple
search on E-bay tells me if its there or not, then I leave it in a notify
mode... if one of what I am looking for shows up, I get an e-mail. This
saves me a lot of time. My time is worth $60/hr...what is *your* time
worth??

When a work lifts your spirits and inspires bold and noble thoughts in you,
do not look for any other standard to judge by:
the work is good, the product of a master craftsman.

My time is worth a $10,000 an hour but can't get anyone to pay me so
just enjoy myself looking at stupid posts in this newsgroups. I expect
you have given up sleeping also.

Well, at work, its $86.00 / hour. However, this is a hobby for me,
as for most of us I think, so wouldn't really want to place a value on it.
Many of us are probably retired anyway.

When we amortize 'our time' out over even something as short as our own
lifetime, it becomes worth a very small fiscal amount... the only true value
to 'our time' is in the living, and that is far too short for argument and
anger.
