Hi All,
I am inviting comments on a new mode that might help to satisfy both 
the "traditionalists" and the hankerers after new technology.

My project is based on the visual semaphore but using a two tone system 
to define the positions of the flags. The frequency of each tone would 
define the angular position of each flag. Ideally, the sending speed 
would bear a relationship to the sender's speech rhythms and would 
therefore be almost infinitely variable as between characters but have 
a mean speed suitable to the allowed bandwidth thereby giving the 
equivalent of "fist". A "space" tone between characters would be a 
fixed frequency to be used as a pilot tone allowing synchronisation of 
tone detectors.

I intend to call this system "Interupted Pilot Tone Dual Frequency 
Modulated Continuous Wave Semaphore Equivalent Signalling Telegraphy" 
or IPTDFMCWSEST" !

So may we please now end all these silly arguments about "appliance 
operators" while I return to local ragchews on my frequency modulated 
dishwasher and loaded dipolar strimmer!

As far as I know commercial morse services never tried to use the morse
code for printing.

For printing the teletype machines have been invented, a technology with
allows many additional features to be designed, a process still ongoing.
Therefore I would recommend everybody not willing to learn the morse
code to follow the examples of commercial teletypers. But everybody may
do what he thinks would make him happy.

As I have grown up with the morse code I find it fully sufficient for
what I have to communicate over radio, to keep technology simple. I
guess I would never had come to amateur radio around 1950 if I had to
struggle with complex communication modes as featured today.
