Hi Pete,
This is a FB topic, and some reflexion should be made from all of us
about it.
I remember that in 2008 Contest Dinner someone who was speaking made a
joke about the age of the attendants. He started asking to people in a
given age range to raise their hands. When he got down to "30 to 20"
years old, less than half a dozen raised their hands (including me).
When he went down to "less than 20", only ONE boy raised his hand.
Really sad.
I am afraid that in the future the mostly like thing we will be able to
do like a CW contest will be playing morserunner.
73,
