Just an observation...
Some of us hams (and others) have posted our comment and moved on. Has
anyone else notice that ergo, Hamguy, Noonair and Bill Turner also post....
and post.... and post... and post some more.... as if their word on a topic
is the final word? I understand that we all have different opinions (and
this is one also), and there is no limit to posting, but where does the
opinion part stop and arrogance take over? Seems to me that posting too much
about one topic eventually makes your opinion weak and invalid.

(I would have not posted again except for this observation thing.... I just
had to throw in one more).

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!

Addendum:
BTW: I also post too much! I also do not wish those that I mentioned to
think I am attacking them personally - I agree with much that they have
said!
