Default Bye Bye CW

Just because my Great Grandfather had to 'crank start' his car, we should
ALL have to learn how to do it prior to driving. And his wife had to use a
'crank style' telephone, therefore we ALL should have to master that
technology PRIOR to using a cell-phone just because they did. Additionally,
we should ALL have to learn the computer language known as 'Basic' or
'Fortran' PRIOR to using a PC because I and so many others had to learn it.
And EVERYONE should be required to learn an antiquated mode known as CW
before they get on HF because some 18th century guy invented it. Either
catch-up with the times, or get the HELL out of the way! Like it or not,
CW is TOAST!

Yes, and we all learned to walk before we ran? Riding a horse is still
an approved method of transport the last time I looked. What's to say that
running isn't a approved method of transport too except for those of that
are too lazy to do it. CW maybe antiquated but it still serves a purpose,
if only to motivate the lazy into doing something to gain an end and for
that reason it should be condemned? I think not.

Calculators: they should outlaw the ability to hand write long division or
multiplication? we could go on forever in this way couldn't we. I normally
don't respond to these kind of inflammatory statements but this one was one
I had to write back to as it was so out of bounds. I did it and am of the
opinion even the most lazy can learn 5 words per minute cw.

See, I told you you needed to be more elitist before they would grasp the
semantics of simplicity.

CW has a massive propensity for insidious morphalation....

That is fitting for any elitist attitude to get a grip on. Says the same
thing, but passes the pompous ass test.

"CW Sucks" ?
That isn't pompous enough to satisfy the average CW Supporter...

You have to meet their level of self importance with an analogy that is
fitting to their elitist roots. Try this:

CW has a massive propensity for insidious morphalation.... (CW Sucks)

existance.
