Oh, c'mon guys. Here some of us are ready to lynch a VE2 just because someone
got bent out of shape because the sent zone didn't agree with the CTY file,
which is the only "authority" anyone is using. Jeez, if I was a VE2 in Zone 5
I'd pack up and go operate CQWW portable in Zone 2. Give it a break, and wait
'til the log adjudication process is completed, then, if there's a discrepancy,
hash it out. A tempest in a teapot. Lighten up.
As has been said before, "C'mon sunspots", the gang is getting restless.
