Die-hard, maybe, but surely not soon enough.

The Spark-forever types will, eventually, cease to be an issue.
Remember, no new ops are being required to learn Morse and it's those
folks that seem to have the biggest gripes.

What gets me about Morse ops griping about RTTY in particular is that
they can operate *anywhere* (save for two small slices) whereas RTTY
is only allowed in tiny slivers.  But RTTY is somehow the problem.

Not that there aren't phone-only gripers just tune 75 any time it's
open or look at the example given in this thread about net nuts on 20.

Fortunately, the gripers seem to fall into a certain demographic and,
with some luck, we'll all outlive them.  :-)
