Bottom line, if you want the priveleges, you takes the test (and that
pretty
much holds true for anything), you don't get to 'cherry-pick' the
particular
things that you feel comfortable with being tested on, or that which YOU
feel
YOU have a use for.

You're sounding more and more Liberal with each post!

And you're sounding like the typical code zealot. You'd make the perfect
elitest liberal.

Well, I guess I am an 'elitist'. I was able to pass the 13 WPM requirement to
obtain a General class license.

I didn't allow the code requirement to hold me back whether I was going to ever
use it or not. I wasn't lazy, I wasn't dumb, I simply wanted the ticket, and I
didn't whine about it.

Now, I guess I could use your mentality (and that of others) to provide a
'mental block' to my obtaining a Extra Class ticket if I desired to get one. I
could whine, complain, stamp my feet and say that there are questions on the
Extra exam that pertain to things that I just don't personally plan on using in
Amateur Radio.

But would I allow those things to get in my way? No, I'd simply buckle down,
study, and take the test.

I'm not a whiny Liberal.
