Sorry, but I had to put some "teeth" into the subject of this

One thing is a certainty, the death rate of baby boomers is
accelerating. *Although it is hard to pick any certain date to pin point
the start of the baby boom, around 1940 might be a good pick.


Be that as it may, it's been implied to me that knowledge and
skill at morse code is an almost guarantor of immortality!
Of course, that was before a couple of pro-coder regulars in
here died. shrug :-)

Also, I've been told that nearly all the expirations of US ham
licenses were all due to the no-code-test Technician class
licensees reaching the end of their 12-year license span and
quitting. That doesn't jibe with the "SK" page listing in QST,
but those pro-coders just won't quit on their mythology.
