You are right, we probably are at fault to some extent. But we live in a
sociaty of law suit's and the like. Let young john into your shack. he gets a a
splinter off the desk POW law suit.
I have been a ham for some 40 years, my shack door has always been open to any
one wanting to look and see, how ever nowa day's unfortunatly i worrie about
the law suit and worse still the light finger syndrome.
I still Elmer if and when i can, i feel i'm passing on a legacy, what my elmer
tought me, unfortunatly Roy is now a SK, but in my elmering his teaching's live
on.

The discussion here is alarming but absolutely true. I wonder if most of us
are at fault by not allowing those "newbies" or future "newbies" to come to our
stations/shacks/shops and see, touch (no HV), smell, and experience HF ham
radio. To see what it is to build our own equipment and operate on HF. To
hear the guy from Portland or Madagascar coming out of the speaker. To see the
electronic shop and projects on the bench. I know that caught my attention
many decades ago.

In our day and age it seems that Common Sense is in short supply. If you don't
have any Common Sense - get some Common Sense and use it. If you can't find
any Common Sense, ask for help from somebody who has some Common Sense. Is
Common Sense divine?
Common Sense is the image of the Creator expressing revealed truth in my mind.
