 I might as well put my 2 cents in also. I too was faced with a decision
 years ago as to which hobby I wanted to devote my time. I was interested
 in becoming a ham as it was different from my work. I was not willing
 to spend a considerable amount of time learning a needless skill as I am
 a klutz at skill activities and I rebelled at the code anyway. I had a 3rd
 class at the time and worked at a radio station.

 I perked up my ears when I heard about the potential move to codeless 
 hamming. I've been scanning this newsgroup since then.

 If the majority, wish to continue the requirement for code as a badge of
 honor and membership into the club that is their right and I have no
 agrument with that mind set. However, I think I'll continue to pass 
 until codeless becomes a reality as time is allways scarce.
