I did not mean to suggest the concept of Park to Park is bad. Just the assumption that calling park-to-park to get into a pile up. It rather cheapens the concept while also resulting in lengthy PTP episodes during pile ups. I enjoy the challenge of contacting other activators when I activate, so I don't call "PTP" anymore. I try to bust through the pile up, like everybody else. I will continue to give PTP callers priority, absent a groundswell to not do so.
Thanks for lots of great comments, by the way.
Hams are the best.
