Mark, there's something curious about morsemen.

I'm sure that you find any number of things curious, Leonard, like why
would anyone devote the time and energy to learning a skill which can
earn them no money and which you believe is quite useless?

They are very
SERIOUS about their hobby and INTENSE on certain skills.

Perhaps you meant that they put serious effort into learning the
material required for obtaining an HF amateur radio license and were
INTENT on passing the exams.

Their
sense of humor is limited only to THEM "laughing" at those who
disagree on telegraphy testing.

Since you are on the outside of amateur radio and you disagree on morse
code testing, I can understand how you came to that conclusion. Radio
amateurs who favor retention of the morse test can and do laugh at many
other things. You write only from your experience.

The beginning of the solid-state era had begun.
The beginning had begun? Third graders write better than that, Len.

Sister Nun of the Above got into the act, spanking ruler at the

I'm sure I heard a dull thud as you were struck amidships.
