Still think CW purists are rough on FT8 operators? 

Me: I talked to a guy in Thailand this morning! 
Wife: No, you didn't. Your MacBook talked to a PC in Thailand while you
were at the kitchen counter making coffee.

Hard to argue with that logic. I'm sure a computer could do CW
autonomously if it parses CQ de HS# ... I'm sure someone has done that.
But where is the sport in that?

Yeah, that's a whole nother hornet's nest. There is automated CW, and
the CW purists aren't too keen on that either.
