Not to sound like an "educated rectum", Frank, but certainly someone
else WAS interested in the conversation, otherwise the discussion
wouldn't have taken place in the first place (grin)

No, it's just this -one- guy who (from the only other radio exposure
he's had) thinks he's the "Channel Master" of 3.922.
I've since found out that several others who -used- to frequent this
particular SSB frequency have also vacated it in search for more
"intelligent" conversation topics that are radio related (like building
and testing equipment) and are happy with the fact that this person can
only be found on 3.922.

This guy used to be out in the oil fields, Frank.
