The flaw in your rhetoric, Jaak, is that Winlink PMBOs are QRMing existing QSOs whether or not an emergency is in progress. No one has a problem with this during an emergency -- but most of the time (thank goodness!) there is no emergency, and we're being QRM'd for no rational reason. There is nothing wrong with unattended stations, message passing, or using Pactor III -- but there is a plenty wrong with failing to verify that the frequency is locally clear before transmitting during non-emergency conditions.

Dear Rodney You are wrong. You know laws/regulations, but ham-robots dont. Ham-robots have strong mantra - emergency. And strong mission - helping people. What you and other ham-humans have against this rhetoric? Ham-humans need better rhetoric against ham-robots. Like this: Mantra for ham-humans: Ham bands robotfree! Robots act in ham-bands like communication terrorists. Ham-humans mission: To developing human communication skills for any case, not only for emergency. For emergency better widely used QRP-readiness. 73, Jaak ES1HJ/QRP Rodney wrote: Tolerant of what? Intentional interference? Don't think so! Tolerant of blatant breaking of laws and regulations? NOT!
