Really? :o(

Agree.

We used to consider speeds over about 45 to be QRQ. I still do. I certainly
don't consider myself a QRQ operator, and I regularly run at 30-35. My aging,
retired brain no longer does well at upper speeds. Because I had been off of HF
for over ten years when I retired, it took a long time to get back to being
comfy at 30. The brain just wouldn't keep up with the key when sending. Doing
better now, but I'm no QRQ op.
