Dan,

I've noticed that when I hear a fabulous sender, I want to send as well, but 
when I hear a terrible sender, I have the same reaction - I want to send as 
well as I can (although I no longer have someone better to imitate) so 
perhaps he will get the idea to send better.  Sometimes he does, but often I 
just have to keep the QSO short because his code is so bad.  I figure if he 
is disabled in some way, others will give him good cheer and contact him for 
a while also, but if he is just perverse and sending poorly on purpose, he 
won't have dumped on me for longer than needed.  If he sends beautifully, I 
will either QSO him for as long as I can, or sign with him and continue to 
listen to his beautiful sending.  Good CW is so soothing to listen to.

73/88

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.
