Actually Mal...

Amateur radio was never created to allow just communication.  The 
international definition goes something like this:

/"Amateur radio service" means a radio communication service in which 
radio apparatus
is used for the purpose of self-training, intercommunication or 
technical investigation by
individuals who are interested in radio technique solely with a personal 
aim and without
pecuniary interest./

Seems all of the people here fit into this definition.
