Regarding ZERO point QSO's:
I always thought it a little odd that in a major, world-wide contest where
scores seem to matter
very much, a perfectly legitimate QSO between two stations could result in no
QSO points scored for
either, an advantage for one and time lost for the other who is basically
honor-bound by
sportsmanship to make the QSO. Yet, some say that there is no problem in this.
How is there NOT a
problem here?

Hi Bill...I have the greatest respect for your accomplishments in contesting
over the years, BUT
saying it ain't gonna happen is far from right....there are inadequacies in
the contest as we participate in it, and things just might change...the
squeaky wheel gets the grease....and I for one will continue to squawk about
the in-adequacies as I see them...it keeps coming up, because it isn't
right...plain and simple! If more stations had to put up with this
in-adequacy it would get more response....it doesn't affect the m-m's in the
NE as much as the SE, and therefore must not be a problem!
