Looks like we'll have to agree to differ on this.

The fact is that you no longer have to send RST in CQWW.
I didn't, I wasn't DQ'd (after all, the software I used
defaulted to 59(9) sent and logged for every QSO) and
that's the way I intend to continue.

In CQWW, and the other major contests, RST is not cross-
checked. Log anything you like and you'll not lose points.
It's an irrelevance.

Those who prefer to send 59(9) in every contest QSO may
continue to do so.  I prefer not to.
