With all due respect, I think you just made a strong case
*against* SCP.  Stated another way, your reasoning could be
boiled down to "SCP allows my computer to compensate for my
lack of a skill that good operators have taken the time to
cultivate."

Sounds kinda cold, and I don't mean it as a slam against
anyone personally, but copying the exchange should be about
skill, not purchased memory.

  "A logging computer lets you make more mistakes faster than 
   any invention in human history -- with the possible 
   exception of a quart of tequila and a borrowed Vibroplex 
   key." --K0HB
