Funny idea... but it's way too slow to react. (saying this as ham radio operator doing CW, so pretty biased, but I guess actual telegraph operators were much faster than I am...)

#15Judging by the comments I've seen go by the on the ticker, this is less a telegraph simulation than an observational experiment in how terrible people can be. It's a real shame.
