Sure have to learn CW make take a little time, but once
you learn it and you it, you'll develope a better appreciation for what
it
means to be a ham, and our history.

nope I understand itplace and therefore I do advocate banning the USE

Hardly a "culture", Mork. CW was part and parcel (still is) of advancing a
licensee (through incentive/reward for effort), onward and upward to the
earned priveleges of expanded band use.

You rail, indeed moan, that you should be afforded the same priveleges as
those who have earned their just rewards while your desire is to sit back
and wait for the priveleges to be handed to you.

The only imagined damage that has been fomented toward you by CW advocates
is that they oft call you on the carpet for expounding day after day that
Ham Radio should not be "dumbed down" to meet your selfish wishes. You take
umbrage that they have the "gasp!" audacity to refute your weak arguments.

Life's a bitch, ain't it, Mark? Why should anybody have to work for
anything?
It's like saying they don't deserve it.
