APRS? No thanks.

I have tried APRS many times in the past.
Do I really want to let the rest of the world know that I am once again sitting here inside my radio shack?
Do I really want to let everyone know where my car is actually parked or where I am going to while I drive around town?
Do I need to involve the INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION to do so?
My answers are: NO. NO. NO.
That is why I DON'T DO APRS.

Lately APRS is being considered as the only reason why we have packet radio onboard ISS.
I believe that's WRONG.
Wasnt packet radio supposed to serve for the PMS? I remember when one could leave messages to the crew and get a written response from them. I did it so many times on MIR. It was even better than a voice contact.
