I am not being critical of any ONE person, but the threads go and on, on the
reflectors. Yes, I have a delete button, but that is usually the reply of those
who grandstand with their posts trying to either WOW the list or PUT DOWN
someone they don't like or agree with.
Many times, when a serious technical question or subject is brought up, there
are those who seem to see that as an invitation for a debate. About that time
it begins to get nasty and ungentlemanly.
I get a LOT of help from the many lists I am subscribed to because being the
owner of a large bone yard of vintage gear, I always have questions, if not to
learn something new, but to verify for myself that my analysis was correct.
There are those who must believe that a ham who has been licensed for 52 years,
has worked in Broadcast and who has a General Radiotelephone (formerly first
class) license, just left the VE testing session and doesn't know how to plug
his latest bell and whistle 9000 Super Duper Japanese Marvel in the wall
socket. Do you think that may be why one is often asked, when he posts a
question, IS IT PLUGGED IN??????
I get some GREAT technical help and parts help from the reflectors and that is
why I stay subscribed. There are those so narcisistic that they have no
introspection and they proceed like a "blind hog after an acorn" as we say down
south, and think anything they say and do on the reflector is correct, helpful
and gentlemanly. That is not the case!!
So, when you start telling well meaning, gentlemanly and knowledgeable Amateur
Radio Operators, of long standing and experience and in LIFE and ELECTRONICS to
"LIKE it or TAKE a HIKE, maybe you should get your trail map out!! I love the
reflectors and am staying and will do my best to ignore those who don't
respect their fellow Hams. 73, John, K5PGW
