How about a different parallel?? Drivers licenses! How many here have
earned ALL endorsements/license classes for their drivers license?
i.e.
motorcycle operators permit etc.

Those that haven't must just be lazy too eh?

Not a valid comparison the way you put it. If the person isn't
interested
in the privileges, it doesn't mean he is lazy for not getting the
endorsement. It's the person who wants the privileges and isn't willing
to
get the endorsement that would be considered lazy.

I disagree based on statements made by others here before. Having both HF
and VHF+ access to all of the amateur radio spectrum (i.e. upgrading all
the
way to extra) is so important to some, then the parallel is there. Not
exercising the full advantages of the license.

Somehow I think you are misunderstanding my point of view. If they do not
wish to exercise the privileges that come with an upgrade, then there is no
need to upgrade and that's fine with me. It's those who want the privileges
and whine about having to do the work to get them that bother me.


I have had 2 CSCE's now for the morse code test, and let both of them slip
as I see no need exercise the use of those privileges, nor can I at this
point due to operational limitations. But apparently upgrades are even
more
important to some here more than god.


Again, no one has a problem with a person who prefers not to upgrade and
explores those areas for which he/she is licensed. The problem arises when
someone wants the upgrade privileges without the upgrade work.
