"Appliance operators" and the plain snobby elitists..... Huh

elite [ih-leet, ey-leet]  

noun
(often used with a plural verb ) the choice or best of anything considered collectively, as of a group or class of persons.

adjective
representing the most choice or select; best: an elite group of authors.

e·lit·ism   /ɪˈlitɪzəm, eɪˈli-/ Show Spelled[ih-lee-tiz-uhm, ey-lee-]
consciousness of or pride in belonging to a select or favored group.

Why consciously be satisfied with less?

 Especially when you are using more energy and wearing out priceless historical treasures doing it ! Grin

Let us please add:
e·lit·ist n.
1. The belief that certain persons or members of certain classes or groups deserve favored treatment by virtue of their perceived superiority, as in intellect, social status, or financial resources.
2.
a. The sense of entitlement enjoyed by such a group or class.
b. Control, rule, or domination by such a group or class.

Sometimes being satisfied with less allows you to move on to enjoy the rest of your life or your hobby. Being trapped in a particular elitist bubble generally makes you highly critical of everything else around you. i.e. SSB'ers suck, appliance operators suck, no-code operators suck, contestors suck, QST vs. QEX, etc. etc.

"Birkenstocks" ? "arugula" ?

 Don't even know what they are  Huh   My wife does all the shopping. I'll have to ask her  Wink

She bought me a few guitars but they don't use 'lectric . They sound real good without toobs.
Primary mode here is CW  .
 I do operate the AM  mode at times . All the transmitters here (AM and CW)are Vac tube , save for the Retro 75 , a real favorite rig .

. Antique electronic supply even has parts for acoustic guitars by the way .


 Peace and seven three

By definition if your primary mode is AM, you are already in the elite class...

Unless you fall into the "Phony Operator" category.
