It got so unpleasant for me that I just decided to quit after 9 hours. Just
not fun anymore.

I saw some pretty unruly pileups to the likes I had not seen in many years,

The same happened earlier with PZ5RA. He delivered a real
fire-and-brimstone sermon to the unruly mob before going QRT... and even
while he was typing, some people were still calling.
Again, some of these weren't newbies, but on all contest modes there is
a new breed of "no-hopers" who click on a cluster spot and then call and
call with no realistic hope of a reply.
But the worst thing of all is: WE are the experienced contesters who
should have taught them better.
