Sure, Bill.  You might as well say, "I don't have anything against 
blacks or Jews, I just don't want THEM in MY neighborhood." 

As Mike pointed out, this is the unlimited SO category - the premiere 
category of any contest.  Pushing two radio operators out of that 
category because of their operating technique is like saying left-
handed operators need to be in a separate category because many of 
them can send with their right hand and write with their left hand. 

when you start discriminating based entirely on OPERATING TECHNIQUE 
you have crossed the line.
