I agree. But I also think that there is a compromise that COULD be
adopted.
Many mail readers allow filtering. Some of the filtering capability
is hidden behind some rather baroque interface. The principal
filter, the human being, has stunningly good filtering mechanisms.
If the subscribers to CQ-CONTEST were to adopt a convention for the
subject line to allow better filtering, then those that wish not to
[pay for, read, curse] individual score postings could be saved the
[expense, time, hypertension]. Those that wish to save and study
individual scores might benefit from most filters' capability to
dispatch messages to different folders.
Thoughts, Trey?

I want to reiterate that I think this is a terrific idea!
For this to work, some folks will need to step forward and volunteer
during the days before contests to collect the scores via email, and
then make daily postings of claimed scores to cq-contest for the following
week, then maybe give a weekly update for the following two weeks. The
score update should include a reminder to send scores to the individuals
rather than the list.

I for one like to read the long version of people's scores. I like to
find out what worked and what didn't; what different locations had
for propagation; etc. I like the stuff that doesn't get printed in the
summaries. Suggestion: Why don't people put the word SCORES in their
subject heading, so those who don't want scores can ignore them. Or do you have
to pay for what's delivered, even if it's not read?
