Sad.
This may come as a shock, but the mission of ham radio does NOT include
rag chewing. Rather, we have licenses and privileges for the purpose of
developing technical skills and knowledge, developing operating skills,
and providing emergency communications. What's sad to me is the mindless
stuff that passes for conversation on our ham bands and the fact that
many hams seem to think that's the purpose of ham radio.
FWIW, I find email, various online media, and face-to-face conversation
far more satisfying. And I use local repeaters to maintain community
with nearby hams.
