I've found that it is more fun to bug the old farts to death.  Make 'um
nervous enough, maybe they'll drop off sooner with their heart or
something.

This is exactly why I haven't gotten in to Ham-TV.  Everyone makes it
so hard to do anything interesting (packet excepted).

Reminds me of how they screwed up the best fleamarket/swap meet I've
ever been to: the TRW Swapmeet here in So. Cal.  They kicked all the
computer people out; and you have to show proof of license and membership
in a ham radio club(!!!) to sell there.  Before, anyone could just come
and sell.  It was super-popular.

Tax Write-Off.  That and the "Look what I've got and you don't!"
attitude.  Argh.
