Whatever your view such comments do not help one iota.  Steve GW4ALG made
some valid points and a less hostile response from someone who earlier in
the week was recommending a code of practice would have been appropriate.
We all know you are not a cw operator and clearly feel strongly about that.
However cw is very far from dead in amateur radio terms as a quick listen on
the hf bands during any dxpedition or contest will show - it is actually
increasing.  Have a listen on top band tonight, I expect CQWW 160 cw is just
as busy with you as it is here. Please stop the mud slinging.
