[Elecraft] My "Attitude"

[Bert Craig]

Elecraft is an Amateur Radio equipment manufacturer. This is an Elecraft 
reflector/forum where Amateur Radio equipment, primarily but not always 
Elecraft, related issues are discussed. A poster asked what might be 
construed as a overly elementary question with regard to said poster's 
license class. One of the responses was construed as mildly abrasive 
eliciting further comments re. said "attitude." The 'offending party' then 
explained his point of view with regard to his perceived "attitude."

Very much related to Amateur Radio and, albeit to a lesser degree, Elecraft. 
It's just a discussion, interesting to some, not so much to others. Live and 
let live.
