Default You're not a real ham if you never took or passed a Code test.

Oh, but I already did pass the 13WPM test way back in the 1980s. Most
of us objecting to the CW testing requirement have passed the test. We
realize that the only way to save the amateur service is to get more
people into the service. The way to do it is to eliminate old, outdated
and useless requirements that keep us stuck back in time and create a
perception that keeps people from even considering getting into the
hobby and service.

If all you whiners would devote the time you spend whining about CW into
actually learning CW you might just pass the test.
