PULLEEZE!

Those 1977 call signs were NOT *vanity* call signs. They were issued on request 
to those who had passed the Extra Class exam when the exam still meant 
something. As far as I am concerned, the vast majority of us got them to have a 
shorter, more efficient call sign for operating, particularly contesting. It 
had nothing to do with vanity.

Look up the definition of *vanity*.
