This may come as a shock, but the mission of ham radio does NOT include 
rag chewing. Rather, we have licenses and privileges for the purpose of 
developing technical skills and knowledge, developing operating skills, 
and providing emergency communications. What's sad to me is the mindless 
stuff that passes for conversation on our ham bands and the fact that 
many hams seem to think that's the purpose of ham radio.

FWIW, I find email, various online media, and face-to-face conversation 
far more satisfying. And I use local repeaters to maintain community 
with nearby hams.
