you are mad simply because something that you had to do that was very
difficult has been removed for the most part, and may be totally removed
finally due to it's archaic irrelavence.

Very difficult? Oh please. I passed all three tests (5, 13, 20) with 10 of
10 right on the written and solid copy for each. Passed all five writtens
first time out every time. Hmmmm ... I guess it must be you. As to CW
being archaic, well let's have your expert thoughts on those outdated and
archaic modes known as Single Side Band, Amplified Modulation, and RTTY.
I've noticed that the written exams still include material on each of them.
Surely you would be in favor of eliminating that irrelevant nonsense as
well, right?
