Subject: On Line Logs

Is anyone else bothered by the fact that on line logs are being made available in various modes before the contest submission deadlines.  I make no comment on anyone's intention being anything less than honorable in posting it or their right to do so.  But an on-line log prior to the submission deadline allows an unscrupulous operator to check to see if he is indeed "in the log" for a potentially valuable mult before submitting.  Seems like a loophole that we, as a contest community, need to fix, in my opinion.

LOTW for one, could block posting data until submission deadline.  Comments?
