i am very saddened to see the scores drop from QST.  2 years ago when a 
co-worker was talking up ham radio to me, i had no clue what the scores 
were - they just appeared to be numbers and callsigns and i could not 
understand them.

now that i have been a ham for 1.5 years, i look back at those issues of 
QST given to me and smile when i see a callsign of someone i have met, 
in person or on the air, and see their results.  a shared event really 
has a way of creating a bond, and now i will not be able to show someone 
that i was part of that event by the printed score in QST (unless i make 
it to the top!).
