While it is certainly emotional, it is not based on any relationship 
between CB and roger beeps other than that it migrated from CB to 
CB-like HF operators.  

Don't think that my hatred is limited only to roger beeps ...  
I also despise the audio echo boxes, phase boxes, "presence 
processors," "compellors" and other audio quality destroying 
devices that have been brought to HF.  

For those who use such devices, losing one's license it too 
easy a penalty.  Such lids should be incarcerated if such 
punishment were possible. 

There is nothing except "entertainment value" in the roger 
beeps and other audio tricks.  They provide NO enhancement 
to the communication. 

73,
