Time to close this portion of the thread.
In general, arguments and statements like pro/con comments on CW operation,
contesting etc are best taken elsewhere as they are way OT and outside of the
list guidelines.

Ah, the old CW snobbery! When is the notion that paddle or key
generated CW is superior to software and keyer generated code going to
disappear? You decode RTTY with software, don't you? CW is just another
digital mode. Software decoding has brought many new CW ops into CW DXing and
contesting. Software encoding is more accurate and allows many ops to achieve
speeds they could never otherwise achieve. Perhaps you use a keyer for
contesting? Many (most?) contesters do. CW contest participation is declining.
RTTY contest participation is increasing. Software is every where improving
our lives. Time to give up on old ways and ideas and move into the future.
