   This is a false mantra oft repeated; there is no concept of giving   
   something back because just being a radio amateur means that you   
   are an equal***** to all others and you owe them nothing.

   of those who seek attention by being on the board?   
      
   ***** Class A anywhere; Class B only on VHF.
