And then there are those who do not bother logging "zeroes" that might need 
them for multipliers.I had record attempting, unusual record breaking entry in 
CQ WW CW in 40m non-assisted, single OP, no skimmer, QRP, over -50The attempt 
was to obtain 0 point score by working my own country, trying to supply 
fortunate ones with multiplier, while being 100% accurate, no errors, kinda 
entry for the record books that can not be beaten (negative scores apparently 
do not apply or are not recognized)Well.... 0 points was achieved, but 100% 
accuracy was botched by N0NI, who appears to be Multi- Single and did not 
bother logging this "zero".************************* Not In Log 
************************* 7019 CW 2008-11-29 2209 N2EE             5 N0NI       
      4Why this test? In the past I had cases when I was not in log of 
potential multiplier, and mostly in M-S category, who appears to drop me 
because being insignificant QSO/points but inconvenient to disturb the "hole" 
in logging off times.This is a proof of this happening, especially when one is 
QRP, fights hard for points only to be dropped by the "champs".Is it so hard to 
log even "zeros"? With logging programs it takes the same effort to log one as 
it is to delete one.Another reason to finally end the silly, useless ) points 
for own country!!!73  Yuri, K3BUwww.MVresort.comhome of future
