Reply to "Praying for Rain"

Although it has nothing to do with the topic at hand it does deserve a reply.  

 

Therefore who is trying to claim it's cool or cutting edge?  What does age have to do with it also for I see articles about kids in middle school all the time that are joining the ranks of Radio Amateurs or HAM Radio as it's called by some.  It's participants though have been instrumental in many discoveries and technological advancements we all enjoy today that many consider cool.  Also Amateurs have also been instrumental throughout history in saving many lives and providing contact, even in the high technological age we are in, when all else fails, some consider that cool as well.  Volunteers who invest and spend their own money, many of which, to help assist others in times of dire need and distress and seek not recognition or reimbursement for doing so.  Radio Amateurs have also been "networking" long before that term was in vogue.  

 

It is a hobby or a status that is not so much considered cool but is considered by some as prestigious enough that it is recognized by each State Government with special license plates for recognition and designation in Emergency situations and additionally the Federal Government so much that they allot certain (very valuable) frequency spectrums for it's use and for experimentation.  

 

I am old enough to appreciate those that came before and paved the way for many electronic inventions and advancements which in some cases helped our Country gain an advantage in the wars that it has fought.  

 

I'm wondering what it says about someone who always consistently is looking for some kind of conflict, controversy or take an antagonistic approach to or in just about everything they post?  Sounds like someone that really needs to find something to do or lives miserable and desires to make as many others feel the same way in order that they won't be so solitary in their own condition.  

 

I'm glad we could amuse and it takes such little to amuse you.
