I wouldn't even think about allowing someone a radio, unless first they have
mastered the "African Message Drum", if all civilization is gone the drum is
what they will need to survive.

Much more logical than cw, you don't need a radio! Can make a drum out of a
hollow log and a skin off the neighbors cat!

And, uh, what'd you say *your* callsign was? I, uh, just didn't quite catch
it... I'm just asking because it's a generally noted condition of a few
major posters in this newsgroup, that if one is not an amateur radio
licensee (Len Anderson, for example) their opinions on the matter of amateur
radio are taken with a grain of salt.

Oh, ohhhhh...here we go...yet another Flame War ignition attempt...

If all civilization is gone, and you have a drum and a deaf person is
around, does it make a sound?
