That's a good question, Ron.  I think it really depends on who you ask.

My "thing" is that "contesters ought to copy what is sent", so for me,
I'd like to see "supercheck partial" go away, along with any other
feature that "fills in a blank" such as power in ARRL DX (if you've
already worked them on another band), or zone in CQWW.  

I think dupe checking is fine, and cluster-spotting (so long as that is
an "assisted" category) is OK too.  

I guess if I were a hide-bound purist, I'd also be against program-sent
CW, and voice cards, but I'm not.  Go figure.

73, Hans, K0HB
