FWIW (not much) ..and as someone who is only now taking SSB Contesting more
seriously ...
Noticed a whole lot of "Please Copy" in the RAC Contest from the Canadians
...it kinda goes with the whole politeness thing ...and ..I actually like it
in SS SSB ...My first big interest in this hobby was traffic handling ...led
to a few great years of operating at a ship to shore station ..and SS was
the first contest for a lot of us traffic handlers ..and the Q format is the
NTS Radiogram header. Neither of these contests are ratefests ...so
...don't see the problem.
For the rate contests ...if we're running and working pileups ..I think we
get an instinct for who will be a quick snap Q ..and who will need a bit of
hand holding. I just figure I'm grateful for the Q ...except on CW in the
rare case (like yesterday late in RAC) where someone literally can't send
their own callsign or the exchange the same way twice).

There are few competitive events where the "civilians" mix right in with
the "professionals". Imagine an auto race where your typical Ma and Pa
Sunday drivers were out there with the race cars. But this does happen in
ham radio contests and makes for more QSOs.
And, I wonder, are there really so many "please copy" ops put there that
they pose a threat to the elite?
