As the future would pan out, we have lost numbers, and a lot of them the
Non-coded types.

As a ship that is almost stopped proves, turning the rudder does almost
nothing, or when the interest rate goes very low, adjusting it does almost
nothing, eliminating the 5WPM Morse code will have no positive effect on
the numbers of new hams, and the most likely effect will be that with the
lesser effort, more and more will get into the hobby with only slight
interest, and then drop out. That is not what we need.

Hey, do I get a prize for that freakin' long sentence?

How does it stack up against some of Edgar Allan Poe's sentences? I know he
wrote some doozies when it came to length.

Yeah. Now that guy could write! He was a pretty fair amateur physicist too.
