  Man, heard a painful QSO on the East Coast Reflector tonight.

There was a DX station from Austrailia trying to have a QSO, and one of the 
users kept asking him for his email address, the Austrailian ham repeatedly 
told the gentleman that he was blind, did not own a computer, had never seen 
the QRZ website.   

This idiot kept asking him for his email address, tried to explain how to add 
his email address, or make it public on QRZ, etc...

I know I wanted to beat my head against the wall, I can not imagine what the 
bloke in AUS was thinking!

Part of communication is learning to LISTEN, not just pushing the PTT and 
talking.
