You say you find it "interesting."
I say that you're being nosy and that that is insufficient cause to invade
my privacy.
And regarding "reality" television's alleged popularity -- most of the
people on those shows choose to display their lives in the public realm, it
is not forced on them.

Personally, you're log doesn't interest me. OTOH, if I put in a
competitive effort (no longer possible since I moved to a new QTH) I
would find it interesting to see some of the top scorer's logs in my
geographic area to compare their rates and whereabouts to my own. I
also might find it interesting to peruse logs from certain geographic
areas - more out of curiosity and learning more about propagation than
anything else.
You ask why are we being nosy. Why are reality shows all the rage -
perhaps we're all voyeurs at heart :.)
