  Exactly. When I check into a net, I try to stay around, so I won't
miss important information.

  As I noted in another post, "patience is a virtue" in ham radio,
but so many ham radio operators don't have it...as they're in a rush
to get off to another net they HAVE to checkin to.

  Now, I can understand being "short time", as you're going out on
errands, etc. 

  But, the stations you talked about are basically "in and outs".
