Dang Mike. And I thought you had some sense. So much for that.



Hold on Dan, Did you get my whole message, or just repost off what
Larry trimmed?

As someone said to me, the pro-coders have a responsibility to
attract enough people to survive (paraphrased)


I think the no-coders now have a responsibility to attract the
professionals and good hams that are staying out of the service now,
so that they improve the ARS.

I was being sarcastic. I guess sarcasm doesn't do well in printed form.

Someone here (Bill Sohl I think) was telling me that Pro-coders now had
the responsibility of recruiting more users of the mode, lest we lose
our bandwidth.

I was turning that statement around to the no-coders, many of who note
all the qualified EE's who are going to swell the ranks after the code
test is gone. I consider that these new hams and those who paved the way
for them to be responsible for what happens after this.

And I was also just repeating Jim's "holier than thou" statement in the
sarcasm.

Hopefully that clears things up.
