G> Sounds like a lot of Ham radio repeater crowds. :-/

Hmm..  Mayby a little worse?  In the SF Bay Area, there is a high level
repeater on Mt. Diablo that's a crap shoot. Although the 'usuals' there are
pretty much shunned elsewhere, many of them are still able to hold mature
conversations on other repeaters.  I think the only reason that repeater is
stioll on the air is because the other repeater owners and clubs in the area
pleaded with the section coordinator to keep it in place so these... other
hams can have a place to call home so they don't start degrading the others.

It's been about 20 years now and it seems to have worked.
Any time I want to reminisce about the CB days, I simply tune in that repeater
and am promptly reminded why I left CB for Ham radio.
