Jaime,

I do not wish to reduce the number of hours in any
contest, but I suspect there are many reasons that
some folks might wish shorter contests.  None of those
reasons deserve your self-righteous comments about
"losers" and laziness.  

de Hans, K0HB

 We pass the word around; we ponder how the case is 
 put by different people, we read the poetry; we meditate 
 over the literature; we play the music; we change our 
 minds; we reach an understanding.  Society evolves this 
 way, not by shouting each other down, but by the unique 
 capacity of unique, individual human beings to comprehend 
 each other.
