What you say about CW here is absolutely true, and I am not dismissing it as
a valid mode for hams to use. It is a wonderful part of the hobby *if* you
enjoy it, and useful to those who partake in the mode. I just don't believe
it is the absolute yardstick for judging who has a right to call him or
herself a ham, and I do not believe in putting down those who choose not to
deal with it. I am not anti-CW by any means.
