How true! Amateur Radio has become infected with the same "entitlement
mentality" that is so common in society, particularly younger members
of society. I don't want to count the number if times I have posted
references to User Manuals, software help files, software WiKis, FAQs,
etc. only to hear "I don't have time to read <pick the reference>,
just tell me what to do".

YES! Much of the ARRL Handbook is tutorial material. Indeed, I'd wager
that most if not all of the teams that have put us in space first
learned electronics and radio from the Handbook.
