Wow! I searched and found old USENET threads where I was ranting about proposed "no code" licencees and how they were going to ruin Amateur Radio!

I'm working diligently on it, don't worry. Someone gave me a extra but I can't speak a dit of morse.

    I've made peace with non-code hams. But still, at my advanced age, I send morse by hand (with a bug/paddle) and receive in my head. Still my favorite mode.

      It sounds like a lot of fun honestly. I tried learning and made some progress but that was a long time ago. Lots of other stuff to do and it's fairly time consuming I found.

      Nice. What's your favorite key/paddle? Assuming you have a particular favorite, that is! I notice CW ops are quite particular about such an instrument, and I can see why. Each has its own characteristics and feel, and becomes a familiar part of your arsenal as you use it. Sort of like a keyboard for a programmer! ;)
