When the sword challenged the rock, the sword won. When the gun
challenged the sword, the gun won. When the automobile challenged the
horse, the auto won. When the washing machine challenged the washboard,
the machine won. When tubes challenged the spark-gap xmitter, the tube
won. When penicillin challenged herbs, penicillin won. When the birth

Now the internet challenges code tapping amateurs ...

Oh yeah, and I forgot, but you are quite correct. They were warned;
and, they thought they knew better. But then, their history does not
reflect one of a well educated or "gray matter endowed" group ... the
few intelligent amateurs' voice were drowned out by the insane masses
.... now we have what they strode towards with such determination, while
beating out a war march tune on their brass keys--amateur freqs will be
assimilated by the internet, resistance is futile ... and God seen this
was good ...
