Well Ron for me there is a bit more to it.
As a serious lurker, when I see a call like Jim's, or W9AC, or KM1H, or
4CX250B, and many other regulars, as opposed to an unsigned, potentially
unknown internet troll, I know its probably ok to learn from and take a chance
on, and based on substantial experience. And even better when they disagree
and get into the weeds.
So I think its more than fair to encourage the use of a call, rather than
debate it.
