Speak for yourself.  All of my comments have been in regard to
SO2R as an operating technique totally independent of the mode 
of emission.  That should have been abundantly clear by the 
comparison of the gains going from 10 WPM to 40 WPM in CW or the 
gains available in "the old days" by learning to send CW with one 
hand and write with the other.  

As Chris says: "the determining factor is the operator, not the
technology."

Any operating technique, so long as it is within the rules (e.g., 
only one transmitted signal at a time) should be treated equally 
regardless of mode.  The only reason for an operator to choose 
one technique over another is his ability to use it to improve 
his score.  To reject the use of a technique by another operator 
has no place in radiosport.
