Good point Larry. The other thing is the specious use of the comparison of Morse to "spark gap", Morse is just a mode, spark gap would be the equivalent of arguing about the hardware and how CW should be sent. I wish I had a dollar for every time I've seen someone try this tactic!  It could be sent by flashing lights, horns etc. It is not a valid comparison. I think this fellow's call sign holds some subliminal truths! (-: The "old fart" remark places this fellow's credibility at the bottom of the long list........

And could we please refrain from the "old fart" comments. I, for one, am
a Morse Code enthusiast; and I'm only 46 years old. I resent the term
"old fart" as it keeps appearing on reference to those who favor using
Morse Code. I do not refer to those who do NOT like the code in nay
derogatory manner; and I would appreciate the same consideration.
