With one attorney-ham in the family (my daughter) I will decline comment.

Isn't this getting at least a little out of hand? It's time to act!!! We must stop this NOW before we have a name change to the American Radio Legal Association or some such thing. How about, no more attorneys until they can collectively produce more sun spots via the use of hot air of course. Enough is enough. Doesn't anyone beyond me find it odd that ham radio attracts so many attorneys? There's more attorneys than engineers---Geez Louise. It's time to act, we are losing our way! A little girl (about 7) and her sister (about 10) were going up a ski lift with me a few years ago and the little one says to me do you know how to tell when an attorney is lying and of course I didn't know and said so. Her reply was when you see his lips moving. Her father as it turns out was an attorney and according to her he was back in their condo working. And yes, I forgot to ask if he was a ham too, probably was. 73 from your humble servant and Treasurer, oh and "bookkeeper" too.
