Because people are not specific. Look at thread
subject lines like "drop the code" or "IARU says
drop Morse". And there's a group what goes by
the name "No-Code International" - not "No
Code TEST International".

All writers assume a certain level of knowledge on the part of their
target readers. The same is true for this newsgroup. Most here are aware of
the code testing debate, so there isn't any reason to restate the issue each
time something is said.

I disagree! There's a world of difference between "drop the code" and "drop the
code test".

As for NCI, the names of many groups don't exactly
reflect the group's publicly stated goals. For example, the Red Cross
doesn't go around painting crosses red and the Salvation Army doesn't fight
religious wars.

Actually, the Salvation Army *is* fighting a religious *war* of sorts - against
evil.

If someone is against the code *test*, then let them take the trouble to spell
it out.
