Let me set something straight. "I" was NOT beating my chest about "CODE". I
was only in the argument with regard to the use/misuse of the word
"Memorization". "I" think code has its place - but not as it once did. It
sure isn't keeping the bands clean by keeping it in place. "I" don't use
code - that often. I think also, it "can" be fun to learn for those who may
want to try it. Some people may - as has been proven, still - others won't -
which also has been proven. THAT IS MY stance on code. As to the
"mis"spelling of "genius", hey - what can I say - I'm human, I DO make
mistakes. I don't rely on "spell check" techniques - so ............ an
error does tend to sneak through from time to time. It doesn't matter one
iota to me if you do code or not. "I" surely am not here to pass judgement
on you or anyone else by that ability or inability (since some DO have
trouble getting it). OR lack of interest "may" be more specific. I have
quite a few people I talk to on the bands who are "NO CODE Techs. They're
not interested in the code - OR wanting to climb any higher in license
class. Its cool with me....... That is their thing - not mine. It sure
doesn't mean we can't have a decent conversation - be it on the air via
repeater, simplex, computer mode or face to face.

As the little munchin said in the Wizard of Oz - opening up the window to
Dorothy's insistent knocking - and she finally got her point across - "well
now - that's a horse of a different color - why didn't you say so!"
