And the FCC let us all know where it stood when the NPRM was
released. Does anyone deny that the horserace is fixed and that the
majority wishes have nothing to do with the outcome?

Maybe yes, maybe no. In this case, the majority (if one
looks at the comments already filed) appear to be
running better than 2:1 in support of the ending of
all code testing. Sure looks like a majority to me.

I think the ones against the change are worn out. They know that the FCC
didn't listen before and don't believe the FCC will listen now. They are
ready to move on.

Dee, the FCC did listen to their comments via NPRM 98-143.
The FCC then gave written reasons why their arguments for code
testing were not sufficient to retain code testing when the
R&O was issued from 98-143.
You state..."they are ready tom move on." That's fine and
we can therefore view those folks willing to move on
as agreeable to the 05-235 changes proposed by virtue
of their silence.
Cheers,
