I
am kind of excited that there will be a crop of amateurs, new to HF, that
will need a good deal of Elmering. Lots of exciting stuff to learn and
pass on.

And rule number one is what you stated above - keep within the privileges.

Mike, forgive me for being blunt but you are in fantasy land.

It didn't happen when we reduced from 13 wpm to 5 wpm. What makes you think
that reducing from 5 wpm to 0 will have any effect?

I too have said I was waiting for the long promised injection of scientific
RF talent and youth into the service but I was merely being cynical because
it was a false promise 10 years ago and its non-fulfillment in coming years
will prove that the premise was false; it was merely used as a talking point
to support no-code and the FCC bought off on it.

Of course, and as is the case for so many political matters, truth is not
really that important and there is no accountability for these false
promises except by pests like me who will use every opportunity to remind us
of them.
