I approve of keeping the requirement, but I dispute your right to define the ARS in terms like these. Oh. So you don't believe that limited interest is actually limited interest. I see. You aren't that dense, so of course you're making this straw man on purpose. You define "limited interest in CW" to be "limited interest in ARS" because you define ARS as inherently including CW. Since that's the topic under discussion, you are begging the question. I believe in keeping the CW requirement, and even adding a few more requirements, precisely to enhance the loyalty of licensees and to discourage those who wouldn't be active anyway, or would engage in bad practice. But I don't beg the original question; I've pointed out that a swimming requirement would do almost as well. IOW, I believe in weeding out those whose interest in ARS is sufficiently limited that he refuses to take and pass the swimming test--but I wouldn't say, "If you aren't interested in swimming a mile, you aren't interested in ARS." Likewise with CW. Regards, Len. |
