REPLY:

How would you feel if you lost first place by two QSOs?

The same issue exists with call signs. I could shave several minutes
by changing to a four character call, but WRT is my initials and I'm
keeping it. Besides I rarely ever work every minute of the contest
anyway, but for those who do it could be significant. 

The bottom line is there is a balance between length of macros and
logging accuracy. Finding that balance is half the fun, at least for
me.
