Yes, I guess you could say I am a new ham, having only been licensed since 1977. Despite this, I've sent and delivered a few hamgrams, and the difference between them and Pactor is that a ham had to be the intermediary, as opposed to sending a communication directly to someone who is not licensed. The same was true of the NTS, so these are not analogous with Pactor or any of the other automated email forwarding modes. I really can't understand why people don't get the distinction, because it really isn't all that subtle.
