Amen to that Todd - a QSO, or any conversation (email, forum, 
face-to-face, etc., etc.) involves listening (or reading), 
comprehension/processing the information,  then responding.

A lot of people these days - ham radio is just one example -  just seem 
to want to talk and not listen or engage in true conversation.

A few episodes of brain farts, being distracted, etc., can of course be 
forgiven. Been guilty of it on more than one occasion. But it should be 
the exception, not the rule.
