When you propose, promote and demand separate categories for antennas 
taller than 50 feet and with elements totaling more than 1/2 wave 
with the same vigor that you have used on your jihad against SO2R,
your arguments will have moral and intellectual validity.  As long as 
you single out SO2R operators, your crusade is nothing more than 
discrimination based on personal prejudice.  

As opposed to a no skill advantage like power or antennas, SO2R is 
primarily an operating skill - specifically the ability to multitask. 
It is a skill that anyone can develop and does not require a high 
dollar second radio, big antennas, or high power.
