Yes i must agree also.. in  62 i had key clicks with my transmitter on cw 
and was glad that a few of the guys let me know about it. got some help and 
fixed it.. but this day and time i worry about telling someone his signal 
is not what it should be. I have told a few and i do try to be nice and 
also offer any advise if they wish it. most are nice about it and thank you 
BUT there were a few that told me where i could go. one even told me he 
could care less what his signal sounded like that he was making contacts 
and that was all that mattered. I spend most of my time on cw now but still 
work rtty and here is where i am finding the worst signals anymore. the 
sound card has been both a blessing and a curse they have put many stations 
that would never had went to the trouble getting on rtty that some of us 
did years ago just wish they would take time to read how to adjust the 
audio input/output . I think it is our duty to let our fellow hams know 
when there is a problem But lets do it the right way.. heard one guy tell 
another ham  "hey man your signal sounds like #%!% get off the air and fix 
it "  no wonder some of the new guys do not like to have anyone tell them 
they have a problem
