Really?  As long as everyone is at 31 (and a quarter!) bauds, who
cares?  Yes it's slow compared to the full 45.45 bauds of regular
amateur RTTY but ... so?  As you note, though, if you're really
annoyed you can use a faster speed.  Of course, that basically forces
everyone (that wants to be competitive) to the faster speed.

People find weird things to complain about!   :-)
