I think all whos' only purpose is for the continuation of amateur radio
in a relevant and up-to-date manner will agree, logical questions,
exams, examiners, methods and procedures need to be established,
followed, and upheld--and, especially in regards to realignment with
present rules and regulations.

Attrition should continue on at its' accelerating pace and shortly
remove any doubt as to the death of morse. CW is a problem which has
fittingly supplied its' own fix and is now engaged in implementing that
fix (death.)

All new hams need only be aware of the past sins of arrl and the fanatic
devotion to CW and personalities as opposed to principals which has
caused cat-ass-trophy-type-damage to amateur radio and to steer clear of
the arrl or any movements to re-establish some pseudo-class system
amongst amateurs and thereby replace the "CW class system" with a new
and equally insane and damaging one.

We need history to help us avoid making the same old mistakes anew ...

The old-timers need to be avoided like the plague. The old failed
methods and tactics need to be avoided. The future needs to meet up
with amateur radio and bring it to life in the new millennium.
