Your condescending attitude really stinks my friend.  Whether a person 
likes phone or not has nothing to do with their mental ability.

I've never operated a CW only contest (used CW in some mixed mode 
contests - ARRL 10M, FD, VHF, etc).  Why?  Don't care to, nor am I 
capable of 20-30 wpm CW.  Yet, in your mind I am not a real contester.

I guess finishing in the top 10 in the nation in the rover category in 
Jan 99 VHF, likely finishing in top 10 low power class in the 1998 ARRL 
10M contest, and scoring 3.22 Million points in the 99 CW WWPX SSB 
contest doesn't make me a real contest operator.

OK, I get it.  You win.  You are what's best about ham radio.

73,
