The problem I have with this stance is that the rules for the contest
require it. Failure to send one (meaningless or not) means you did not
follow the rules (silly or not). Don't expect a lot of sympathy if your log
is tossed for failure to follow the rules.
Don't like the rules? Don't participate. Want the rules to be different?
Have the contest sponsor change the rules, and then they will (again) be the
same for everyone.
