And we always want to limit other's activities (ham radio, architectural committees, political parties, religions -- all the tribes we belong to have something to say about kicking the other guy. > It seems to me like there is very little important communication > going on in > ham radio, so why stress the narrow bandwidth?

There seem to be more and more hams who are just angry that their are any other hams who don't do precisely what they do, and we have more "road rage" than makes any sense at all.
