It may say that and it has evolved to that but that was not the original
intention of the creator.

Actually, guys, it DOES say "old-fashioned bugs, a variation of the
straight
key" on the rules page for SKN of the ARRL web site.
"In many circles SKN has been expanded to encompass vintage radio
equipment
as well. Reminiscing about their early days in our hobby, many operators
use
SKN as the "excuse" to refurbish their old Viking, Heathkit, or Scout. You
will hear as many vintage radios on the air during SKN as you will variety
of keys. And you will hear signals generated using old-fashioned bugs, a
variation of the straight key. SKN is the time amateur radio recalls the
past, transporting it to the present."
Surely this horse is dead by now.
73 and Merry Christmas,
Ken K3IU

I surely do not care what you use. But it says straight keys. Does not say
bugs or paddles but straight keys. Only you will know what you are using.
We
all have to live with our conscience.
Why dont you start a new one! Call it "Bug Night" or "Paddle Night". Then
you will have the few who claim that a straight key is a paddle!
MERRY CHRISTMAS
