[Fists] Circle-A in Morse Code

[Fred Adsit]

How utterly stupid. AT is one dit and two dahs.
AC run together is THREE dits and THREE dahs.
What will they do with periods in the address?? Golly, they may actually
go on sending didahdahdidah. Slightly more time efficient but not what
traffic handlers use, not that they really support the NTS any more in its
present incarnation....
They didn't want to disturb 150 years of history. Well, let us hope they
do NOT.
Just my opinion about these dimwits. Your mileage may vary. If it varies
very much, sell your keys, get out the mic, and now what are you going to
say when you need to explain an email address? Mine is NY2V AT EARTHLINK
DOT NET. There simply is no other way to say it, is there? Well, I guess
one could say NY2V AT EARTHLINK PERIOD NET. That would fit the PERIOD COM
generation, wouldn't it. STUPID.
