I know this may come as a shock to some folks on this list, I know MANY 
honorable contesters, including some with big time reputations, who play 
by the rules. There are certainly some who think that the rules don't 
apply to them -- like Ivanna Trump, rules are for the little people.

IMO, those dishonorable schmucks who don't play by the rules are the 
little people, and I have no respect for them.

No, it's the RULES FOR A CONTEST, which are established by a volunteer 
committee of contesters.

In the past few years, some major contest operations HAVE BEEN 
disqualified, and the rules have been rewritten to allow representatives 
of the committees to inspect competing stations in real time during the 
contest.

Some of you guys make me sick to my stomach, no matter what your 
nationality. My parents taught me that "the other guy does it" is NEVER 
justification for doing wrong.  Yet another example of why and how the 
world has lost its way morally and ethically.
