I'll agree with Tony ..                                     An Amateur is considerate towards others, part of the Radio Amateurs Code  I don't flaunt my license class towards anyone, or that I am persuing advanced interests in electronics.   I have been in other Chat-BBSes that are purely BS with an arrogant person or 2. if the put down is someones upbringing then I say they are in  the One Percenters club,  I don't have time to run a flame thrower, and FYI, I always block senders who waste my time anyhow.   2 people have made my blocked senders list already.   Happy Holidays !!   Mark Holman Isn't Radio Fun !! ?? ----- Original Message ----- From: Tony King - W4ZT To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday, December 02, 2004 4:43 AM Subject: [Repeater-Builder] snide remarks We all have occasion to suffer from diarrhea of the mouth and fortunately when spoken those words don't linger for long in the minds of most of those that hear them. Unfortunately when those same words are put in print they linger way beyond the half life of plutonium. I really couldn't care less how long you've been a ham or how old you are or whose cousin you married. It's careless and down right rude to respond  the way the two gentlemen below did. We've seen more and more of this kind of response on this list and others lately and, without appearing thin skinned, I'm pretty tired of it. Gentlemen, if you can't offer sincere help or an opinion that's relevant or that doesn't reflect negatively on your upbringing, it might be better to leave it alone. 73, Tony W4ZT At 11:44 PM 11/30/2004, Neal Newman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Sorry I cannot resist  this one..  And you call yourself a Ham?????...<snip> At 12:39 AM 12/2/2004, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: RE using CTCSS: Nobody said repeater owners were smart. The SERA group just rescinded their new rule of requiring CTCSS/DCS on all new repeater pairs because too many of the old farts complained.
