I don't think its wrong at all and don't share your or Paul's 'opinion'.
I do enjoy the rantings of Paul as he does this every chance he gets.
If I remember correctly, W2UP, was asking a technical question regarding
remote operating. Paul, as usual, quickly posted his objection which
was never a question in the original post.
But I'll sit back as Paul dissects my response. I wonder if he can
inject a sail boat analogy in here some where.......

No matter how often you repeat it, it is wrong.
If you operate your rig in the shack remote controlled via local lan from
the living room in a contest the qsos are still via RF.
Making use of a wireless headphone and mikrofone is the same as using flying
leads from one room to the other either.
No need to sit in front of your rig nowadays and it does not matter how far
the distance is between yourself and the transceiver.

W5OV has misquoted me. Here is what I actually said.
"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."
I choose my words carefully when posting to this mailing list. No further
explanation is necessary.
