CW is mostly callsign/whereabouts/weather/TNX and that's it. If an
actual
conversation ensues, I'm sure no one (except the jerks I know of)
would
waste their time getting carpal tunnel with cursing in CW.


There you are wrong. There are many extensive conversations on CW.
They
converse about the same things voice operators do. I've heard them
talking
about their careers, families, computers, buying and selling on ebay and
a
myriad of other topics.

Wow, most of the CW operators I've known even state that all they "pretty
much" do is exchange information. Most of them also only use it during a
contest, though. Maybe that's the difference.

Just cruise the bands at non-contest times and that is when you will find
the extended conversations.
