Larry, one does not need to survive a house fire to make judgements about
fire safety. Or be attacked by a foreign government to make a judgement
about certain defense planning. Or live under a dictator to make judgements
about laws affecting our freedoms. Or experience a business failure to make
wise business judgements. Or experience anything else firsthand to make
value judgements about it.

Dwight, if Larrah had to do it, EVERYBODY has to do it.

(snip) You have not had that mode's unique benefits
and advantages proved to you over and over again through
years of daily OTA use. I have. (snip)

Again, this is not about Morse Code/CW use - it's about the code test
requirement. I can have that operational experience without a test
requirement and you can continue to enjoy the "mode's unique benefits and
advantages" long after the testing requirement is gone.

Larrah can't grasp the theological import of that clear and concise idea.
He is a self-professed "true believer" and cannot see ANY other religious
idea but his old cult status.
