[Fists] Anyone else notice this??

[Dan KB6NU]

One thing I've noted about my CW is that when I'm working an operator that's
making a lot of sending mistakes, or just has a poor fist in general, I tend
to be sloppier with sending than if I'm in contact with someone who's
sending very accurately. And when I'm not at my best, I notice that the
other operator makes more mistakes than he or she would likely make if I was
sending better.

The reverse is true, too. If I'm working a guy who's got a great fist, I
make that little extra effort to send well. The moral of the story is that
if  you want the operators you work to send code that's easy to copy, then
you need to make every effort to send more accurately yourself.

Anyone else notice this??
