Reflecting on my earlier remark, I didn't want to give the impression that I'm against the technology or those industrious individuals that devise it, on the contrary I applaud their ability and dedication. However I sometimes wonder if we neglect to encourage the very basic communication techniques that brought most of us into the hobby.
I entered the hobby aided by the ability to 'listen in' without special equipment or significant technical ability. I think we need to be careful in the future (in all areas of the Hobby) not to impede this ease of access.
