Shouldn't MMTTY also be sending diddles if a word is not yet ready to  
be transmitted?  If so, the audible RTTY cadence that we are used to  
hearing won't be broken.  Everything will appear to *sound* normal.

Perhaps Phil can clarify if he is "hearing" drunks, or is he "seeing"  
drunks on his screen.
