How many years have you been performing QRQ CW

Still struggling to master it.. I learned CW in 2005 to pass my 5WPM exam. Failed it, and passed it half a year later with the maximum number of errors allowed. Then was afraid to touch a key for almost 3 years, it took me almost 1 year to UNLEARN the wrong code I had learned, and now here I am, after 2 years of morse code practice that CW has become by far my preferred mode of operation and an integral part of my daily life !

What speed do you like to run QRQ CW

Am I a QRQ op ? :-)
Well since my CW practices are solely HST-orienteered, I was never really into CW ragchewing. Callsign copying up to 65WPM is fine with me, and my copying speed of 5-random-character groups with less than 5 errors per minute is appr 32WPM. When it's about real words code comes in very pleasant up to 50WPM.
