Ad Hominem- To attack the person instead of his argument.
I'm sure you know that an Ad Hominem is a defective from of argument...
Nevertheless; Thank You for pointing out my improper grammar. It just
goes to show you, that you really can learn something from every person
that you talk with.

Well, we already have created a distinction by saying that there really is
a category called QRPer.
In regards to missing the point, I thought I explained my reasons for making
the distinction between QRPers, and Low Power Operators. You seem to
disagree with my way of thinking, and that is ok; because my thinking may
be wrong. However, being at the bottom of the solar cycle, and boiled eggs
seem to miss the point that I was trying to address.
Thank You for your input.

BTW, You may be a QRPer if your no longer sure about being a QRPer...
