A recurring theme is that in the "yea good
ol' days of yore" Amateurs got real licenses
and today anyone can get one in the back of a
cornflake box. What with the demise of Morse,
those pesky multiple-choice questions instead
of a written exam, these new Amateurs really
are not contributing to the hobby and really
should be told in no uncertain terms that
their pursuit of the hobby is meaningless
until such time as they upgrade and tug their
forelock in the process.
