I agree, Joe. I was only speaking only in generalities. I do bite my
tongue at times. However, most of the time, it is not worth it to fight
over a parking space at the mall. The other guy may pull a gun - it has
happened.
A lot of this spills over to the hambands where some hams get bent out of
shape if an AM signal starts calling CQ some 5 Khz away.

A real vindictive person would call the police and file an accident
report. In most states, if its got wheels and/or some type of
mechanical propulsion, its considered a motorized vehicle and subject
to vehicle and traffic laws... After watching my 90 year old mother
getting nocked down by some moron pushing her babycarrage, I guess I'm
a little intolerant too... klc

The only problem with what you are saying as I see Dave is most
of the time
these guys don't show the consideration and tolerance to the rest
of us.
They usually DEMAND the right of way and I have yet to hear an
"I'm sorry "
when they back over someone or just plain run them over!!! I
guess what I
am saying is a little bit more consideration from the other side
would a
good thing as well!! Have a good weekend yourself there buddy
