I am with Rick and Gary. IMHO it is WAY too early to be signing
petitions for or against. I'd like the opportunity to try it in a real
contest and se/hear other's views based on on-the-air trials. I'm
interested in it - hard not to be, but not ready to condemn it just yet.

Subject: Re: [SECC] Fw: Petition Regarding Skimmer
Hi Gary and SECC...I am in the same interest about skimmer...I am not
going to condem it yet...it needs to be used in a contest and actually
see it's uses...for my part as a M-M , it will maybe fill in some info
that packet might be missing...but as with packet it has to be used with
a grain of salt...it might miss-copy a call, and like packet all calls
need to be copied and verified!! I refuse to jump on the bandwagon of
the petition folks quite yet!! I am taking a wait and see attitude
here....

Skimmer is certainly a topic worthy of debate about it's place in the
rules,
but before I jump to a conclusion, I'd like to see real-world data on
contesting with Skimmer -- maybe even try it myself.
I recall similar debates about spotting nets/packet, computer logging,
SO2R -- even 'hired gun' guest ops.
