[RTTY] Have RTTY ops become SSB ops?

[Tim]

I think some of the poor manners we see on the bands is a reflection 
on how people learn about Ham radio. More and more people get their 
information and "training" via the various Internet forums, which is 
okay. But I think there is less face to face Elmering where the new op 
goes over to the grey beard's shack and is shown "how it's done".
