Mark I've basically said this many posts ago. But thanks for the elaboration
and you are totally correct and is exactly how I feel.

Subject: Topband: strange propagation
Seems to me the final judge in all of this is the guy who stares back at you
from the mirror every morning. There are a million ways to game the rules and
outright cheat ... even in ham radio, where the rewards for a "win" are pretty
abstract. If the guy gazing straight back at you is comfortable with your
operating practices, how I feel about it is pretty irrelevant. We can preach
about good sportsmanship and high standards until we're collectively blue in
the face but, so long as there are people whose operating philosophy is "the
end justifies the means," we're wasting our breath. At the end of the day,
whether my logs, QSLs and awards reflect an honest effort or mere "scores"
empty of other significance is something that matters to me (and the guy in the
mirror). YMMV.
