Let's turn that around at little, Arnie. I haven't seen Clint going around
claiming to be superior.

No, he isn't. But that's about all the positive things I can say about
him. But I don't think he is exactly a shining example of a NCTA -
unless you agree with the pejoratives he like to call us.

Unless you happen to agree with them, of course. You don't think we're
N***'s do you???

So in the end, he bears a striking resemblance to some of the more
passionate CW'philes. Just a different side

Instead, it is those in your circle claiming to be
the superior hams. Other than code, what skills or knowledge of technology
can be found in the pro-code crowd that cannot be found among the no-code
crowd? From what I've seen, there are just as many highly skilled
individuals in the no-code crowd as there are in the pro-code crowd, working
in just as many professional careers. So, if there is no real difference
between the two, why do those like yourself continue to support, or at least
nor object to, the superior ham position of some in this newsgroup and
elsewhere? The only possible answer I can see is that you also consider
those like yourself to be superior hams.

Do you really think so, Dwight? I would have to say that in principle
that the more knowledge a ham has, the more likely he or she will be a
superoir ham, but that goes for the whole spectrum of what we want a ham
to know, not just the Morse/CW part.

I have in the past objected to some of the more vitriolic posts by some
pro-coders.

I think you paint with too broad a brush.
