That would be true if it was a popularity contest and everyone got one vote. 
I suggest that it is not popularity contest, and some votes need to be worth 
more than others.  When it comes to important things (IMO) like efficient 
use of bandwidth and ability to exchange information accurately, I think WE 
may have THEM "outnumbered."  Just a thought.

Mal's right, though, compromise is good, but we can't have it unless it's 
everyone's goal.

I personally don't see any problem with avoiding 10 kHz on 75 meters that 
have traditionally been respected for a very long time.  I don't think that 
means everyone gets their own slice.  Seems to work on 160M okay, most of 
the time.
