It is about stopping you from forcing others to learn cw when they
would
never use it...

Always when one is being forced to do something they do not wish
to,
they should question everything in sight... just as you began
when
you
thought someone was going to force you to quit...

... let's at least keep my comment about the drums straight...

By the very nature of "testing" we are "forced" to do something
we
generally don't want to do.

When I took my General, I had no intent on doing any RTTY
operation
yet had to know RTTY theory and practice.

Good news is that now you don't HAVE to "learn" anything...Just
memorize those quesitons and answers...Whish is what gives me a
good
laugh with the more arrogant NCT types (read that Lennie...)

They are "OK" with open pools and memorized tests, but they hate
memorized sounds...what's up with that? Sheesh...the FCC even
delete
the requirement to demonstrate SENDING the Code.

There's no more work to memorizing the Code than there is to
memorizing the written questions...Unless you have a VALID medical
decicit.

... absolutely not... I work with young men who take great pride in
their ability to pass difficult tests with ease... who are thankful
for
their gifted IQ's...

... but who see no reason to learn code...

I do too...

They're called "lazy".

indeed, the courses which
they take, and their level of education make any amateur exam look
trivial...

"They" may, but since we have no milestones against which to know
those levels, we'll never know for sure.

In short: "I trust men wearing ski masks."
