Amen!
Maybe time to stay away from one run (strike) and "save" ARRL even mo'mony by 
not having to write about the "crummy" contests at all? Don't you guys enjoy 
picture of the tribander on a parking lot instead?

Don't you guys love to look through 1950 something contest result listings 
and see how you started, way down on the bottom? I do, especially if there was a 
picture of that young, lean, mean, contest nut.

In the ARRL "wisdom", maybe we should put everything on the web or hard drive 
and then have it crash and wipe out the history of the mankind :-)(
