Why do no-coders always break down in the middle of an argument and
start spewing profanities? I just don't understand it. It must be do
to their limited mental abilities.

Opus being a Cannuk probably doesn't help either.

Removing the code requirement at this late date would do little to
increase the number of hams applying for a license. At one time,
possibly 30 years ago it would have made sense to replace the code test
with one that emphasizes skills that actually have a use in the real
world. Sadly, I think that there is little that can be done to attract
younger hams into the hobby. There are just too many license-free ways
of communicating with people from around the world.

Good, we should keep the requirement then, because it has kept a
lot of Bad people of the bands. It's my way or the Freeway.
