If I had to take a guess, I'd say that it's because egos are becoming
one of the defining factors in shortwave piracy. Not *the* defining
factor, to be sure, but it's like sitting across the room from a table
full of loud, obnoxious people in a restaurant: just because you're
doing your best to ignore it doesn't mean that it'll stop intruding.
At least it's somewhat amusing to watch all this mudslinging going on
back and forth, because at the end of the day - no matter who may 'win'
or 'lose' - being Mr. Hot Shit Pirate Guy is pretty much exactly like
being the tallest midget.
