If CW is indeed effective and current, then it will propagate due to
its usefulness without regulatory requirement. Judging by how
shrill
the proponents are, it appears that even they are afraid that it
won't
show itself to be advantageous enough for people to learn on their
own.

On a related question, is it pro coders intention to boycott QSO's
with countries that have already dropped the code requirement for HF
work? Do you guys refuse to talk to Australians now?

That's shrill enough, congratulations.


I guess no answer at all was to be expected since it shows how invalid
the postion is.

How's this for an answer? NO!

Provide references where anyone has even proposed such an
activity.

I can't understand why you would want to talk to someone from another
country who had possibly not passed your lid filter, but to each their
own incongruiteis I guess.

Show me where I said that anyone proposed it and I'll consider
documenting it. I'm not in the habit of trying to document things
that I never said and I won't start with you.


Yep. Another one of "them". He proposed it but he didn't propose it.


Whattya think Dick? This person comes in here, asks incredible slippery
slope/leading questions but won't answer them, thinks that "reasonable
approximations" are numbers, and then brags about not upgrading because:

From Bob Brock Afterall, I've
From Bob Brock boycotted General and above for about 9 years now
From Bob Brock because of antiquated requirements.

This sounds like one of the principled people that Carl speaks of who
won't go beyond technician because they don't believe in the Morse test.
Is this typical of Carl's new people?

Possibly, Mike. I know you didn't ask me, but I can't help but make the
statement that if even so, it would be nice for you to be astute enough not
to roll everyone into your neat little package. Bob may be the kind of
person you allude to, I don't know; he will have to speak to that with you.
But, damned few people who don't like CW have avoided/boycotted higher class
licensure until CW went away. In fact, I know no one like that. So, like I
said, it would be intellectual of you to keep from using the broad
paintbrush. Dick's is glued to his hand, so I don't even consider that he
has the intellect to achieve such a lofty goal.
