I really don't want to start the code / no code debate, but it always 
amazes me that those who like it think we all should and that just because 
you learned it and became good at it, we all should.  I've never liked cw, 
it was always too much like work for me.  Sure, if I really practiced, I 
suppose I could do fairly well, but never a speed demon.  I'm much more 
interested in theory.  That has always been my long suit and the part of 
the hobby I enjoy, but I don't think everyone should be as good at the 
theory as I am.  If you like cw, go for it.  I'm sure the mode won't go 
away even if they stop requiring it.  We still have am, but that is 
another debate.
