I will just add to this post and state, I don't post or make comment on this
list because of the some of the rudeness I have run across.  Remember folks,
treat others as you want to be treated.  So, if you treat people with
rudeness and hatred, it will come back to you in spades.  "Due unto others,
as you would have them due unto you!"

Subject: I don't appreciate some comments on this list, and we need to think
about what we say to people

Hi all,
I first want to say, that I do appreciate the help I've gotten on this =
list.
It's a great list to be a part of.
However, secondly, I do not appreciate comments like, how I got my = license
and that kind of stuff.
First of all, folks, you all surely know, right? That most people don't =
get their license to build kits, or to be technical. I'm not saying = here,
that, technical information isn't good for people. I'm just saying = you go
ask every ham in your local area, "So, why did you get your = license in the
first place? They'll probably tell you, "I got it because = I saw how much
fun ham radio is, and I wanted to get on the air and talk = to other people,
or, to get in contests, etc.
Now, some people get their licenses because they're technical, but many =
don't.
We have a problem in the ham community, and, we have it in the computer =
community as well. When someone asks how to solve a problem, = technically,
so many people get an attitude like, "how did you get your = license?" Or,
in the computer community, they say, "you're an iddiot, = can't you figure
out how to do things with your computer, what's wrong = with you?"
That's why many people don't join computer lists, or ham radio lists, =
because the people that are on those lists look down on, or, they have = no
patients with anyone.
I see it in the ham community, and I see it in the computer community.
So, let's not look down on, or get an attitude with anyone, weather on = ham
radio, or, on computers.
In case you all forgot, we all as I tell folks, so offten on computer =
lists, when someone asks, "I hope all won't laugh at me, or this is =
probably a dumb question"". There is no dumb question. Not everybody is = a
techy. When I'm on the air with someone, I don't ask them, "So, how = much
do you know about building rigs, or, how much do you know about = antennas,
etc?"
Let's just help each other out, in the ham community, or in the computer =
community, alright?
Trippy, ac8s
