Perhaps you think those that know/use Morse are superior to you. I don't
ever recall seeing anyone that advocates Morse saying they felt superior.
I
know I don't feel that way. However I do feel those that don't play on CW
are missing a major part of the enjoyment they could get from having a
amateur license. But thats their loss not mine. If you thank that is
imparting a superior attitude, I say Dwight that you have the problem,
not
us.

I feel exactly the same way, Dan. I promote CW, and will continue to do
so,
but have never said or even implied that it made me a superior Ham. I
*do*
think it makes one a more well-rounded ham. But that is not the same
thing.

Exactly, more rounded, more experienced, more able to provide
communications under adverse conditions...etc.

But not suprerior. In fact when I get my Extra back in the 70s. I could
have opted for a 1X2 callsign at various points since then. I have not,
why is that? Im not one to put on airs, nor do I feel superior to others.

However, based on my experience and background, I feel I am qualified to
advise and suggest. The problem is folks now a days seem to think they know
it all, just because they passed a entry level exam. Oh well.

I believe all of us are more than willing to help the newcomers out. But I
refuse to be insulted and because I enjoy a mode they find 'useless'.
