If we stop feeding the forum or reflector trolls they might go away.

Subject: Re: [CQ-Contest] Remote contest operation
Over the last few days, this thread has included the terms listed below.
I don't recognise amateur radio contesting in any of them. Most are
technical terms specific to the internet, a public communications utility.
Whatever relevance the internet has to contesting in general, in remote
contest operation it serves only to replace or displace amateur-band RF
between contesters.
Those who choose, or are obliged, to get on the internet before they get on
the air are doing something fundamentally different from the rest of us.
We're all entitled to do what we please, but we're not entitled to do what
we please and call it what we please. Internet-dependent contesting is not
the same as amateur-band-RF- all-the-way contesting, even when the operators
at the far end can't tell the difference and when contest sponsors ignore
the difference.
Read, and despair :-)
