[SOC] A bit of decorum please

[Curt Steger]

I agree. After being subtly chastised for stating the same, I assumed it was
acceptable to pursue that course. However I draw the line at name-calling.
There is nothing wrong with a non-SOC like intellectual discussion, but when
it becomes personal it has gone to far.

Now if you would please refrain from referring me to a gentleman; I prefer
the term neanderthal and have the scars on my knuckles to prove it.

As for the ambassador part. I kinda like the title. What is the dress code
for Ambassador to Ham Radio? Is there a minimum number of radios which must
be hanging off the belt? Do I need a hat and shirt with my call sign on it?
Does the hat and shirt need to be clean? Are Bermuda shorts, socks and
sandals appropriate? Can I clip a rubber-duck antenna to my hat? Can I would
50 antennas on my car, and place magnetic signs on the door identifying me
as an Ambassador?

So many questions about the Ambassador role. I guess the biggest one is, do
I qualify?
