I think what Dave talks about here is a general societal problem and not limited to ham radio. Yesterday a co-worker told me he had attended his daughter's Christmas program at school the night before. He said he couldn't believe it when on several different occasions parents would walk up to the stage and talk to their kids DURING THE PERFORMANCE. There were people constantly coming and going into the auditorium while events were happening as well. Sadly, bad manners and lack of respect seem to be on the rise in our society. 73, Tim, N9PUZ
