Gee, is the reason for contest rules nothing but a numbers game? I
thought contesting was about technical skill in building a station and
operating skills.
Many years ago, I taught at DeVry, which was a privately run, for profit
school. A few students failed my classes, and a few others were tossed
out for cheating on exams. But the motivation that a real grading system
provided caused students to work harder, which is one of the points of
education. And the administration solidly supported my approach, in
part because I was also considered a good teacher.
An EASY contest does nothing to separate the men from the boys, nor to
build operating skills.

Rudy, with all due respect, IMHO making the exchange more difficult only discourages the
"casual" participants, especially those that will send in a log?
Those that don't send in their log, couldn't care less. Case in point: My CW is
mediocre, at best, but I still get on during SSCW, just to give out some
points. I know what I should be sending, as the exchange, but couldn't care
less what they send to me, as I have no intention of submitting a log.
