That's one of the reasons I expect to use CW as my primary mode.

I'm not that desperate BIG EVIL GRIN for mere conversation.

Heh. CW users don't usually converse anyway--they usually exchange RST
reports. The payoff for me will be soldering a kit with my son, and
then hearing him holler, "Mommy, Abba and I just talked to Korea!"

CW alone doesn't equal good operating, etc.

Never said it did. Raising entry barriers to the right level, on
the one hand, and beefing up enforcement, on the other, can sure
help.

Oh, I know you didn't. But, I know that Dick Carroll and Larry Roll
are reading my posts

I have a fondness for curmudgeons. They add pepper to life. As long as
they don't insult me (too badly), I've got no quarrel with them.

Tradition and a respect for it are the only reasons I advocate that
5 wpm remain as a testing requirement.

The ARS without morse does seem to me a bit like PB&J with no J. :-)
