Enough of this juvenile garbage.
Amateur radio in the US is governed by regulations to which we agree to
abide when we are granted a license. These regulations are particularly
important in amateur radio because we all share one set of frequencies.
These regulations are not perfect; in particular, the regulation
constraining Spread Spectrum usage is insufficiently precise, and as a
result precludes the use of techniques on HF that the FCC would likely
approve given a competent exposition. In this situation, an amateur radio
operator interested in using these techniques on HF should hold off until
the regulation has been changed to permit their use, contributing to or
leading the effort to change the regulation if capable.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with asking the FCC for their view of
whether a particular mode or technique is legal under the current
regulations. The knowledge that many amateurs are confused about what
constitutes Spread Spectrum should if anything make the FCC more receptive
to a proposal to clarify the regulation. The claim that asking the FCC a
question can kill amateur radio is amazingly ridiculous; asking the FCC a
question is more likely to teleport the Loch Ness Monster into your swimming
pool than kill amateur radio.
Unlike broadcast television stations, amateur radio operators don't
individually negotiate their licenses with the FCC. Thus the comments below
regarding regulations being trumped by station permits negotiated by
attorneys is completely irrelevant.
The nasty name-calling that appears below and in previous posts today is
flat-out unacceptable. Were I moderator of this group, the offending parties
would be long gone.

Skip if you call this a regulation, I agree with Garret. It is a misguided
one and a victim of unintended consequences. The whole discussion is stupid
and you, Skip, are too anal retentive. I work in broadcast and there are
many un-updated FCC regulations that the commission subsequently licenses in
a manner contrary to their own rules. Look at the FCC definition of
translator and then tell me how under the letter of the law how AM and HD-2
and HD-3 stations can legally use that service. Regardless stations get
legal permits every day. Washington is a town of double and denial speak,
the rules mean next to nothing in many cases. What your communications
attorney can wring out of them is all that counts. It is whiners like you
that damage the system. Ham radio is supposed to be self regulating which
means please do not disturb the FCC. I guess you still do not get it.
People like you will kill this hobby.

"Common sense" says follow the regulations, because they were made for the
benefit of everyone, and not just for what a few who would like to do what
they wish without regard for others that want to use the bands.
Regulations are not "guide lines" - they are LAW for the benefit of all.
Band plans are "guide lines", not regulations.
What may seen nit picking to you may seem necessary to others. The
regulations are a great balancing act to both protect and enable as many
users to be treated as fairly as possible.
