Nah, I think all hell broke loose years ago and all but the crankiest have
grown weary of bitching about it.  Many are too busy trying to achieve
"broadcast quality audio" with 3khz ssb to care.

I'm so glad I no longer moderate an Amateur Radio forum. All Hell is 
going to break loose. Extra Class licensees will be considered no 
better than no-code techs by those who studied code at the original 
speed and have long since forgotten it. I'm almost afraid to drop in 
to see the mayhem.
