SC:

Sometimes I am convinced that you are an excellent "satire comedian."
Other times, you have me convinced you are for real. Sometimes you have
me busting a gut and laughing until tears come, other times you yank my
heart-stings in pity.

Take this last post of your, it can be viewed as tongue-in-cheek satire,
or, it can be viewed as insane rant.


I'm a firm believer in using humor and satire to try to make my point.
It's like cracking a walnut with a sledgehammer. Whether or not anyone
wants to accept or agree with me, I hope we can all still have a good
laugh.


I know of no good reasons to maintain any CW requirement in amateur
testing.

How about, Requiring it in order to be able to communicate with it?
That's a good reason and you're learning a skill. Keeping people like
Markie off HF doesn't sound too bad either.

The first time you hear 'AAAAAAUDIOOOOOOOOOOOOO' or 'skipland skipland
skipland' in the middle of 20meters, you'll get a change of heart and will
want to beg forgiveness at the Church of Hiram. I heard it a couple times
and it made even the hairs on the back of my neck stand up and I was
already born again.
