Amen to that Guy!!
I think packet spotting has done more to hurt contesting than
help it.  It encourages cheating, takes the skill out of
multiplier hunting, etc.  There have been lots of posts here and
on other reflectors how DX stations don't like to be spotted.  It
causes an instant massive pileup, half of which the stations
can't even hear the DX but call anyway.  There's nothing like the
thrill of tuning around and hearing a weak, "59922."  That really
gets the adrenaline going :-)  73
