[RTTY] RTTY vs Digital

In my humble opinion, I believe that RTTY is "A Gentleman's Mode". My 
experiences with RTTY
has been 99.9% of the time without "Nut cases, Qrm-ing, Cussing, in 
general it has always been without
any sort of interruption that keeps one from having a great qso with 
a fellow RTTY operator, be it DX or just a friendly
qso with fellow Ham.

Just my opinion of the give-a-way of the RTTY Standard!  as well as 
the  "Sell out by the ARRL".
Can you imagine the queries after this transition is finished, " What 
mode of digital did you work the DX station?
Was it Psk31, Bpsk, Amptor, Clover, Fsk 441, Gtor, Hell, Olivia, 
JT65....etc...etc... "NO IT WAS DIGITAL".
Similar to a Proctologist exam.....
