Yes SS has been broken and complained about for 20 years.  Would it be helped 
by QRS?  No - the exchange is complicated and intimidating.  If someone is 
really needing QRS, the exchange is a non-starter.

The fact is that a significantly greying part of the hobby likes it.  They are 
a diminishing minority.  In addition to the CQP exceeding it, it has been 
stagnant to slightly diminishing while many contests have over doubled in 
participation.

Do we have to spend another 2 decades reading and listening to the SS needs to 
be changed vs no don't change it crowds while it continues to die?

Enjoy it or sjip it - please!
