I agree. This situation is becoming a serious problem. The CQWW folks need
to do one of two courses of action. Either:

1. Discourage zero point QSOs by disallowing multiplier credit for any QSOs
that have a QSO point value of zero.

or:

2. Allow one point for all same county QSOs.

I really don't care how they fix the problem. But it is just plain stupid
for a contest to force QSOs to be made where the point value of the QSO is
signific for one station and a total waste of time for the other station.
