the insistence on using "wetware" instead of software to do the

This "do it the hard way, rather than the smart way" approach to things

Carl,

You seem to have moved positions from "the Morse test ought to be
dropped" to "operators who use Morse code are stagnant and backward".

I agree with the first position, but the second position is inflamatory,
divisive, and not supported by a shred of evidence.

With all kind wishes,

If he had said that merely Larry and dick were stagnant and backward,
would that have been better?
