But a HAM radio channel does indeed exclude non-HAM people.  Content can
only get exchanged by fellow HAM users.  Shouldn't that be offensive by the
same measure?

I don't see the difference between these two cases, really.

"I posted a really cool thing you can go see up on website X!"
"Excuse me, but I *chose* not to be a member of website X.  You should be
ashamed of yourself for putting it there!"

I guess I find this to be a ridiculous argument.

Why did I join CompuServe back in 1986?  I wanted access to the M100SIG.
Plus, I even had to pay for it.  Now, should the people who uploaded things
into the M100SIG have been ashamed of themselves because it was only
available to CompuServe members?
