I'd say this is a good time for all the good 'ole boys to remain silent,
just as some are showing the intelligence and doing.

The FCC made it clear that they recognize that code was being used as a
method to control the numbers of amateurs allowed 'in.' Seems as if
someone in the FCC even found the male organs big enough to face up to the
"crimes" which were being committed against "John Doe Citizen" in
depriving of access to radio with insanity.

It is funny. It now stands obvious, selfish and self-centered hams became
to believe the lies which they were spouting to maintain such a corrupt
scheme, now they have grown blind and spout on making fools of themselves.
Even, going to the lengths to argue against stone cold logic--nothing
short of amazing.

It just goes to show you the dangers, act like an idiot long enough and
you become one!

Both sides of the argument have hurt ham radio. Both sides told major lies.
Those who said code was a "lid filter, "right of passage", etc were wrong.
Those who maintained code was too hard for the average person, outmoded,
being used to control the numbers, etc were wrong. BOTH SIDES played to
emotionalism.

It will take a lot of work to repair the damage caused by those on both
sides who used false arguments.
