Dan,

As you indicated, there are those of us that "don't do this kind of thing". 
The same thing applies to hams in every mode.  Do me a favor and talk to the 
CW ops that QRMed me for extended periods of time this weekend after I'd 
been on the same freq for hours.  No need to paint everyone with the same 
brush as it's this simple, there are good ops and bad ops in every mode.

73'......Fred WW4LL
