Bill, while you like to bring out this argument when discussing
Elimination of Morse code, I'd like to suggest you imagine some

*sigh*

It's code TESTING, not CODE, that is being pushed out the door.
ad nauseum, this must be explained. Why is that?



Since you ask Clint...I'll try and explain it to you.

It is because you and your ilk are attacking those that enjoy the mode.
See how simple that is.

BZZZZZZT !!!

Once again the logic buzzer goes off on you "and those of your ilk"

I have never attacked those who enjoy the code BECAUSE they
enjoy the code. I have attacked them via debate and conversation NOT
thier use of code but stance on the morse code TEST. You have proven
my point *exactly* that you guys REFUSE to seperate the two issues.
I like to use morse code and don't attack it. If there are hams in here
attacking
the use of morse code on the air as a means of communication, that is a
seperate issue and I am not one of them. If you "and those of your ilk"
cannot differentiate the two you have a problem.

however, via example I thank you for making my point *perfectly*.
I happen to honestly and genuinely believe that you "and those of your lik"
are purposefully doing this, that you, for various reasons, well not
seperate
the two. Among these reasons is that, like a poverty pimp in politics
throwing
around the race card incorrectly and illegitimately, you are trying to bring
others to your side of the fight when originally they may not have had
an interest in it; furthermore, I believe you know that, left standing on
it's
own without falsely creating allies, the code TEST debate is heavily
out of balance in the favor of those *against*.



Now one more simple thing.....if you and your ilk would stop attacking
those
that enjoy using Morse Code on the air, then perhaps the debate would be
more simple.

AND, if you would quit trying to make it personal (one of the greatest flaws
in debate procedure there IS!), and trying to make it an attack against
those
enjoying morse code instead of just an attack on morse code, the debate
WOULD be more simpler, there is no "perhaps" about it. You won't do this,
though, because the pro code test types will lose even more quickly and
with a greater margin than otherwise.

As I said before, thanks for proving my point via example.
