It was just my general comment on getting proficient in CW ..... What ever way helps an aspiring ham is fine ... 

I was a US Army CW Radio Op ... Schooled at Ft Dix NJ in 1956 .... also was an RM2 in the Coast Guard and spent

People, save your "society is going to hell" lectures for church on Sunday. 

I've been a ham for more than 50 years, an Extra for 48 years, and I'm a 
retired US Navy Master Chief Radioman. This is not to brag, but to point 
out that I have some small experience with a communications technique called 
Morse code. 

I wasn't advocating this as a "new easy cure for the dreaded 8WPM plateau", 
but simply as an interesting thing I saw on the internet.
