Oh!! yes I know that, we "Abolisionists help each other out.

I am well aware of what is taking place on this forum. Ed has asked that the name calling stop, but you don't seem to want to honor his request. As long as "Idiots" like you continue to demomstrate asinine behavior, there surely will be chaos on this forum. I will say it again everyone has an opinion and those opinions should be respected no matter what. If you don't like my opinions then stop reading them or just don't respond. I am for the abolition of (CW) as a testing component for any class of license. If we donot make some changes in that direction very soon then Amateur Radio will continue to loose it's popularity and suffer even more loses. The new generation of young people couldn't care less about (CW) and there is almost no support for it at all nor is there enough new Amateurs upgrading to keep the (Hobby) going. something has to change and (5) words a minute is not the answer, I'm trying to help save this hobby not destroy it. Also do anyone have any suggestions as to what could replace (Old Man CW)? Let's re-move (CW) testing from Amateur Radio and move on before it's to late.
