How about the dumbing down effect of using the computer to send your CW?  It

sure took a lot more skill in the Good Ole Days to get that bug or paddle to

come out with the right number of dots...or to make sure it was 3 dashes (O)

and not 5 (0) that got sent.

Should the contest logging software guys be asked to take out this DUMBING 
DOWN module as well?
