Strongly agree. 

And I strongly DISAGREE with Ron's statement that clicks are an essential 
part of CW. Clicks are a function of a FAST RISE TIME and DISTORTION, not 
keying speed. There's a KH6 contester who moved from K4 with a monster 
signal, monster clicks, monster SSB splatter, and monster attitude to go 
with it. I've told him about his clicks and splatter several times,  but 
the clicks, splatter, and attitude are still there.
