I don't whine or nag.

Yea, you pretty much do.

I have a strong belief in my position code testing,
and I am able to state it with clarity, passion, and conviction.

But simply without any convincing debate points or ideas other
than "do it, we all had to" and "do it because you are told to do
it, you are a insert childish, juvenile personal attack here if you
do not want to.

Clint:

Please provide either the direct quotes from me where I have made
such statements in the exact manner and with the exact meaning
that you infer, or your immediate apology for mischaracterizing my
postings on this topic.

I'll give you a clue: I have very carefully avoided saying those things.
I have always supported my position on code testing on the basis of
the value of the Morse/CW mode to the ARS, and the need for radio
amateurs to learn and gain useful proficiency in this mode in order
to exploit it's many advantageous features and benefits. I've NEVER
said, "I had to take code tests, so you should have to," except in
this very sentence.

You, Kim,
and most of the NCTA appear to be limited to name-calling --

boy if that' isn't the pot calling the kettle black.

WHO is doing the name calling? it's not the NCTA group calling
the PCTA "lazy", "stupid", and an assortment of complex insults
using spurious comparisons.

I may have referred to NCTA's as "lazy," but not "stupid." As a matter
of fact, I find that lazy people are usually quite ingenious in finding ways
to avoid doing things they can't be bothered to do.

Everyone is "lazy" about something. I'm lazy about a lot of things.
