It might help to address the core of the argument,
rather than try to pick holes in what could be an
imperfect analogy - out of the three offered.

I have not found a standard definition for
"climbing a mountain" (and I have looked),
but I expect we all accept that if you take
a helicopter half way up, from any agreed or
recognised starting point, then you have not
climbed the mountain.

Back to the core of the argument.  I maintain
that if you use the internet to find, facilitate,
enable or make NFD QSOs then, whatever you claim
to be doing, it's actually something other than
amateur radio.

Once again, if we found CBers using the internet,
while claiming it was CB radio, we would all
have a good laugh.
