While there's certainly no love lost between ARRL and me, I think they have the 
right, maybe even the responsibility, to their own contest structures. After 
all, it's primarily U.S. hams who buy the ARRL books and memberships (and 
patronize QST advertisers) who keep the League (not to mention the IARU) 
afloat. 

Those of us who have paid money to ARRL in exchange for goods and services all 
these years fully subsidize thousands of foreign ARRL contest entrants who 
haven't contributed a dime to the organization. Fine by me.

Contests would certainly be boring if they all had the same structure.
