Nobody is forcing anyone not to use CW.

That analogy doesn't work at all.

Why not? Picking what you want to use isn't okay? You don't want
alternatives to CW. Or alternatives to digital? Or , for that matter,
alternatives to voice modes.

So for you choice is bad?

Different brands of cars are not dissimilar enough to compare to different
types of modes so the analogy doesn't work. The different brands of cars
(Chevy, Ford, Chrysler, etc) are more like comparing a Bencher paddle to an
MFJ paddle to a Kent paddle, etc. If you use CW, you pick your own type of
paddle. If you drive, you pick your own type of car.

I should have said "4WD" instead of "Chevrolet".

That doesn't work either. That comparison would be like comparing a
straight key to an electronic keyer.

Well, I don't know KB9RQZ - but I'll say thay he's entitled to have
and express his opinions, same as you and I, whether you or I agree
with him or not.

Y'all try to stay away from the ad hominem stuff now - it never convinces
anybody of anything. Just ****es 'em off.

There's nothing "ad hominem" about comments directed towards
Morkie the Moron, KB9RQZ. His CV of idiocity is volumous.

It works perfectly. A 4WD could save your life when
it would be lost in a 2WD. So why shouldn't the
government mandate ownership of 4WD's only?

Still doesn't work since the FCC doesn't mandate use of CW.

But it does mandate ownership of CW. Think about it.

Should have been: But it does mandate ownership of
a CW modem.

Keep beating that horse. It may be dead, but I'm sure that with your
enthusiastic efforts it will be on its feet in no time.

Code has been eliminated completely as a requirement for amateur radio
since 2 years ago, and its not coming back. I have a full call with no
code.

While that is true in your country, it is not yet true here. The
international conference simply left it up to each individual country as to
whether or not to require it.
