Those of us who worked to learn the code hate to see our Rolex turned in to
a Timex by a group of people who can't afford a Rolex.

It doesn't really bother me. The only bummer part is there will be
fewer and fewer CW ops in the next years. I could really care less if
they drop the code tests. With 5 wpm, for all practical purposes, they
already have. I just can't stand the whiners...Whine, whine,
whine....Such a waste of energy, particularly being they are wasting
it in the totally wrong direction. They should tell it to the fcc, not
other hams, or SWL's on NG's. It's like whining about the broken
cruise control in your Ford truck at a J.C. Penny's. :/
We don't have any control over it, so whining to us is a total waste
of time.
It makes me laugh that someone would spend so much time and energy
trying to convince people that have absolutely no control over the
matter. Better than the freaking comedy channel if you ask me.
