Trust me, I'm not fixated on this topic, but in my travels around the net looking for info on some ham subject I run into this on a fairly regular basis...and if that means anything, it probably means it is more common than just the bumps I see.

In looking at a youtube video on manually programming in repeater frequencies on an Inexpensive Chinese Radio (or as some like to call them CCRs) I found a fellow who did a pretty good job, but when I looked at the comments below his video I saw that he had blocked the ability for anyone to leave comments. It looks like at one point it was open to comments, but read what he had to say:

Thanks to everyone leaving grumpy comments that ensure nobody under 60 wants to get into ham radio! You're really helping keep the younger people out of our old man's hobby; otherwise, we might not be able to have nets at 5AM or club meetings on Friday (ie date) nights!
>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I thought he was on to something as I have run into some of what he mentioned. Anyway, I guess he was able to delete all the "downer" comments or they just went away when he blocked comments from that point forward.
I repeat what I have said elsewhere that in addition to the "grumps" I have also met some nice hams, so as usual, it's just part of life ! Ignore the grumps, go with the good !
