   20+ years between studying for the RAE before finally getting a full   
   licence?   
      
   Quickly disposing of a rig when an intermittent fault mysteriously   
   disappears but without a clue about the technology   
   behind it?   
      
   Choosing a callsign that is reminiscent of CB days?   
      
   Destroying this NG with tirades of infantile potty-mouthed   
   attention-seeking posts?   
      
   Tsk!  Tsk!
