Yeah quite whining about. Maybe all you 20wpm extras should do like the
infamous curmudgeon ham from New England back in the 70s when I first got my
license. Call "cq, no squids, lids, space cadets, no As, no Bs, first class
A number 1 operators only!" then add "no extra lites" maybe then you'll be
happy talking to each other.
