You've spent the last couple of weeks attempting to re-
attach some kind of significance to the fact that "other"
radio services no longer "use code" (snip)

I did that in the very message you replied to (quoted above). You're
point is? As you see, I talked about both the past and present code use by
other radio services and any relevance of that to the ARS. You tried to
twist the focus only to the present, ignoring anything about the past .

Dwight:

This is quite entertaining. Here we have a card-carrying member of the
NCTA, a group which has spent the last dozen years or so blaming us
ever so politically incorrect PCTA's of keeping the ARS securely locked
up in the "past," and now you're trying to make the "past" code use of
non-amateur radio services somehow relevant to the present-day issue
of continued code testing. Having memory problems?

Of
course, since both are relevant, it would be inaccurate to talk about one
(present code use) without the other (past code use).

One of the leading arguments *against* code testing throughout this
debate has always been that the use of (Morse) code has been deemed
to be irrelevant in non-amateur radio services. Now, all of a sudden,
Dwight Stewart ups and declares that just the opposite is true. Talk
about your neck-snapping turns of events…

Not willing to
participate in such a discussion, I asked to to widen your focus to include
all of the relevant facts.

I have given the "relevant facts" ad nauseum. I suggest you stop wasting
my time and start Google-ing.

You refused to do so, repeating your question
solely about the present. It was at that point, and only at that point, the
discussion fell apart.

The discussion fell apart because YOU had nothing new to offer; now
you're trying to place the blame on me. Classic NCTA pattern.

Again, I'm more than willing to continue the
discussion, but only if it is an honest discussion with all facts
considered. However, if you want to twist facts, you can do so on your own.

I haven't twisted a damn thing, Dwight, and you know it.
