What experience qualifies you to assess such perfection, Kim?

Um, one doesn't have to be a professional hockey player to appreciate
the talent of a Wayne Gretzky, do they?

Big Dave has a curious set of "qualifications" on almost
everything.

For example, Dave thinks "interest in radio" is manifest by learning
and using morse code. He will accept NO other "interest," not
even those who got into electronics and radio as a professional
career.

If Big Dave thinks something is "tasteless and tacky," then ALL
must think so...or be judged inferior, themselves without taste
or morals.

Big Dave's standard of excellence in everything is Big Dave. He
sets himself up as the Role Model in all things. There shall be
No Variation. Everything prim and proper, sexless in fact.

Big Dave isn't into electronic homebrewing. If he was, he would
have to handle "nuts" and "screws" and other [expletive deleted]
fasteners. He couldn't bear to think of using a "screw driver" or
a wire cutter ("dikes" - yikes). Insulated wire cannot be
"stripped." Such is tasteless and tacky.

Hiram forbid that any of his equipment pops fuses. He
couldn't bear to think of "blowing" a fuse! [that's tasteless and
tacky, if not obscene]
