Too bad James that you did'nt bother to learn "Intl. morse" earlier when you were younger and your
mind was'nt "MUSH"!!!  Seriously a lot of us had told people time and time again to learn it 
earlier, but to no avail!  Now all of a sudden you and OTHERS understand about the WORTH of CW!!!

It's "We told you-so scenario" isn't it???
