Jim has got the right idea here.
I think we take ourselves and the contesting part of the hobby a bit too
seriously at times. I contest for fun. Winning is fun but if we all
did it solely to win there would sure be a bunch of unhappy participants
each and every contest.
Competition is a good thing. It created new innovations, skills etc.
Open up the logs, UBN, whatever. Once I send my log in I am on to the
next adventure. When the UBN's are posted I look at them and move on as
there is no going back. Hopefully in the 3 to 6 month since I have
improved so I am not sure what it really tells me anyway.
