I agree with taping your own fist and then copying from it a few days 
later.  But do not record someone on the air and send it to them.  I think 
that will drive folks away from the hobby.  Much like showing someone your 
work of art oo new piece of fiction; unless you are very comfortable with 
criticism you may be embarrassed or offended.  Please use restraint while 
commenting on others' sending skills.  If they ask tell them if they are 
running letters together or slurring a character or two.  Then turn right 
around and offer to help them improve.  CW is so much fun I would not want 
to rob someone of a life time worth of pleasure simply to feed my own 
ego.  Life does not have to be a zero sum game.
    73,
