The guy who said it was Riley Hollingsworth, who almost single-handedly 
cleaned up the ham bands before retiring 8-10 years ago.

I personally have no problem with wider bandwidth IF it's not practiced 
on crowded bands. At this low part of the solar cycle, bands like 40 and 
20 phone bands are pretty packed when they're open, and prop on the 
higher bands mostly stinks. :) Wider bandwidth can certainly work in the 
Extra segment of 75 and the upper part of 160.
