Well, that's not very polite in today's AM culture.   AM QSO's now tend to be roundtables in general.  It's the way things are.  It isn't like the old days where it was mostly one on one, and that's not a bad thing.  I do recall doing the "heterodyne battle".  Now days, it's just dealing with unmodulated carriers, music, and sweep generators from the anti-AM Taliban …

You might be missed, and we might miss whatever you have to add.

That's too bad.

Pencil and paper, and 3x5 cards … 

To be honest, I haven't been on AM in maybe 10 years(?).  But I will be back on -- with a Globe Champ.  If you hear me, feel free to break in any time :)
