As I said in one of a number of recent posts to this list that vanished 
like CQWW entries in the final results, go back to the way things were 
originally: no entry categories, just one for all.
Then no problems with figuring out which SOs were really MO, or who runs 
an Italian/Russian/Thai 200 watt amplifier & claims LP.  Likewise SO/SOA 
- becomes a non-issue.
All this unverifiable & therefore unenforceable category stuff should 
NEVER have been adopted in the first place.
