Mike, you may not have interpreted what I wrote to you in the manner I
intended. I've been on 3581.5kc RTTY when W1AW CW bulletin came up
underneath me on a weeknight. I did the reasonable thing and QSY'ed. If I
had stuck around on 3581.5, I would've been the one QRM'ing W1AW, not the
other way around.

I made that comment to you in the interest of helping you improve your
arguments against RM-11708. But instead you are just being ridiculous. ARRL
bulletins and code practice are very important to ham radio worldwide, and
it is important that they continue and not be QRM'ed. In fact I would like
to see published RTTY bandplans show a hole carved to allow W1AW's
long-standing bulletin frequencies at least on weekdays/weeknights.

There are good reasons to be aware of ARRL bulletin frequencies and
schedules. This valuable public service, used by hams around the world and
provided by the ARRL, should not have anything to do with arguments against
RM-11708.
