[CQ-Contest] RE Post Contest Log Scrubbing or Buffing?

[Jim White, K4OJ]

I cannot believe this crud....

How can anyone possibly think this is within the rules?

The subtle implication that mebbe I should be in your log at this time makes
me puke.

My personal scrubbing amounts to a typo search, I always have a few -
especially with zero versus "O" since I do not touch type.

Post contest enhancement of ones logs is wrong - and don't ask me for the
definition of IS.

Long Live CW!

Jim, K4OJ

You will take my Bencher paddle away from me only after you peel my cold
dead fingers from it!
