Tree and I have been discussing this privately, but since he went
public, I'll respond in public.

Yes, it was CQWW.

I've discussed the situation several times here on the reflector, but
Tree must not have noticed...besides having a life, he's been
teaching computers how to compare logs.
Basically, I had a multiplier removed because the other station
failed to log a QSO.

It was in this case.
Tree has, however, assured me that the log-checking procedures have
been changed such that in a similar circumstance today, the
multiplier would not be removed from my log.
That does show progress. Further progress would include penalties
for the offending station.
The CQWW log-checkers don't claim 100% accuracy. They're too smart
to do that. *I* certainly don't have the answer. I do know that it
doesn't sit well with me when I'm on the receiving end of an
"acceptable" injustice.
