I agree.
This seems to be another tempest in a teapot to me. CW, and those of us who
cherish the mode, are rapidly heading for extinction. More and more of my
old CW buddies are becoming SK's and there aren't many replacements. I say
that if we have some source of technology that will give us a few more years
of CW operating, I'm all for it. Whether some OP copies me with his CW
reader and sends CW from his keyboard doesn’t really matter, it's still CW
from my end. And after 53 years of enjoying CW, I'd like just a few more.
My 2 cents.
