Nobody mistakes my brass key pounding, Perry.  I agree that having everybody 
"zero beat" is bothersome.

Amen Ken!!  You have "raised THIS flag, and I salute it!  :-)

When two and three guys in the roundtable are exactly on the same freq and
all using keyers or keyboards, (and TenTec gear, of course) it's hard to
tell who is talking if QSK is used.  Egad, we have unwittingly reached the
"cloning" stage for CW communicators...  Gulp!  :-)  (U notice I didn't say
"brasspounders"..... gee, I no see no brass anymore)  :-)
