Oh, I understand what you've got to say. However, I'm convinced that you don't recognize rude behavior even when it is happening right under your nose. It isn't the mode that I'm complaining about. It isn't the frequency I'm complaining about. It isn't the bandwidth that I'm complaining about. It's the rude behavior that exists in the form of unattended stations smashing into ongoing qso's without looking to see where they are going. Y'all stop doing that, I'll stop complaining. If I went into your home and started smashing into things without looking where I was going, you'd soon want me to stop in just the same way.
