We'll obviously never agree but when I see the same thing over and
over, like a name, I get bored. Time, like a serial number, is
ever-changing. And times even less boring because it changes
regardless of what either op does. If you miss a S/N, you can watch
the other guy's next QSO and figure out what yours was. Can't do that
with time - very not boring!
