I'd love to see someone with a hearing disability receive weak signal CW

to

get a ham license is like making a blind person pass a drivers test

have to take the wheel of the bus.
You are really crazy along with your pals at the ARRRRRRLLLL. This hang

And you're arguments backed by idiocy are the reason those of us who
logically argue against a CW test get the flak that we do. To say the
things you say of the deaf, or any other handicapped you might *think*
you
are taking up for, is narrow minded and pretty damned discriminatory of
you.

But these people are there, Kim. And there seems to be quite a few of
'em. Just some of the folk we can look forward to soon.
