If you go though old posts dating back to many moons ago, in this amateur
newsgroup--and others, you can easily see there is a very defined class
system to amateur radio. What may not be openly apparent is that this is
a multi-class system. Now, on the surface of it all, one is lead to
believe this class system relates directly to the class of license an
amateur holds--his knowledge, overall abilities, personality,
intelligence, etc. Yet, some within this class system have, and just
below its' surface, implemented a secondary class of class system.

This secondary class system relates directly to an individuals ability to
produce a system of taps on a device able to key a transmitter, it is more
motor skills based than any other skill I can possibly relate it to (like
how well one can skate, hula-hoop, hop-scotch, play jacks, hum a tune,
etc.), perhaps better viewed, in the light, as someone capable of rubbing
his head and patting his stomach with few errors in implementation of the
actions and done at a good speed. This secondary system seems to make no
note or make considerations of other skills or knowledge which a ham
possesses into consideration. Indeed, a severely limited autistic person
who had a gift for such tapings, and at least a minimal ability to
communicate by verbal speech and text (brag in speech and text?), would
reign as king and be supreme leader (worshiped?) In such a class a sheer
idiot can brag of genius (and frequently seem to do so.)

When one reads and understands the premise, goals and purpose that amateur
radio was first established on, its' charter, it can be seen this class
system runs in a perpendicular direction and fashion to the original
purpose(s.)

Interesting, and more a statement to human nature, in my humble viewing
and assessment, than it can possibly be related to anything else, wouldn't
you agree? And, when brought to this light of day and viewed in its'
entirety, it stands rather small in scope, would you not agree, again?

Some see this as a rather shallow endeavor and are amused by it. Others
seem to poke fun at it in satire. To others, such behavior is disgusting
and revolting to their intelligence, would you deny them their opinions?

would it be too much to ask that you not assit him by at least
changing the title of his effort to make people think I am a pedo
