Of course! Their is little money for the big Japanese companies (who own ARRL) 
in CW stuff.

The BoD meeting that came out in favor on no-CW also had a "non-recorded" 
vote, so the members couldn't find out who voted how. Sneaky? you bet!
The ARRL has become an organization "Of, By and For....the ARRL." At least 
they quit sending me forms to add them to my will, after I glued one of their 
"Business Envelopes" to a brick and mailed it back!
