[Elecraft] Off-Topic: CW sending vs. recieving speed

[.k8dd.]

I've never understood that line of thought.
Why would you take target practice at little tykes?  That's unreal.

On the other hand people will talk on cell phones while driving and 
people will pick up a microphone and talk on 2m.  That's all ok.  But 
talk about talking on cw ..... You don't have a cell phone or a 
microphone to drop if things go wrong - just take your hand off the key 
or paddle and let it sit there.
And what's the difference between copying phone or CW in your head? 
That's not an argument either!
I've just never understood the comments that get made about mobile CW.
