Slomo Morse, who was Samuel's cousin. Slomo suffered from narcolepsy, and
his long periods with his forehead on the key created the impression that he
was just sending slowly. But when his code was received in places that
didn't even have telegraph wires, people realized the advantage of slowing
down.

Actually, "QRSS" means "Please send more slowly, Slomo."
