why

> Why do you do contests?

A lot of people have asked me why I'm a railfan, why I spend hours
standing around railroad tracks.  I haven't yet come up with an answer
to that one yet, and I don't know if I can do any better with the
question about contesting.  I think KM9P's answer pretty well applies to
me.  I'm not an athlete, so I can't satisfy my competitive drive in
athletics.  Contesting is something that, at the present time, I think I
could get good at if I really decide to apply myself to it.  It was a
tremendous thrill to me to be associated with KCG's championship effort
in the August NAQP.  I wasn't on the A team for either weekend, but I
will be on the A team for the 'phone weekend in January and so I'll be
part of the defense of our title. That is exciting to me.
