[CW] CW trends on the ham bands -- as I experience it

[cod947]

We have noted similar behavior.

When some one asks me an email  question ... I reply with the information, 
or photo or a URL that they requested ..

Not only do they not even thank me for my time and effort to reply ..

They never even reply that they received my reply email ....

There has been a major change in the culture over the last 20 or so years 
....

It has become more of  a "What is in it for me ... and how does this affect 
me"

Respect and many common courtesies are gone .....

If you expect nothing .... you will not be disappointed ....
