Umh, this should "play well" if D4B calls you at 40+WPM :-)

Let's see... 4,600+ QSOs (times) 4,600 *unnecessary* times of pressing (or
lightly tapping) the space bar. Hmmm...something to look forward to next

Once again, WL can remain status quo for those who are "comfortable" with
the way things are. But there are a lot of folks who yearn for various
Advanced CW Mode efficiencies, as evidenced by those who have been speaking
up. Both types of users can have their own WL...that's the beauty of
computer software...and "Magic Switches" to turn on "Magic Functions" for
those who want them and know how to use them :-)
