The idea of the proposed changes was to encourage participation.  Telling 
rovers that they will get whacked for talking to other rovers will NOT increase 
participation.  

If the problem is that the gap between the top scores and the rest of us is too 
intimidating, then create a special Mega class where stations/clubs over some 
points threshold compete against each other.  That way us little rovers might 
have a chance at a plaque, or that creates too many plaques, maybe I can see my 
name in QST!  Leave the scoring alone so we can see how we did year over year.  
If I ever get good, I can graduate from the Pee Wee rover class to the Midget 
class (although we might want to use different names!)
