Why don't we start with getting contest results in 30 days, instead of 9 
months like some time to "born" bastard?
Lets post the complete logs on web sites instead of "real time reporting". 
This will allow competition to scrutinize the log, unload the log checkers 
looking for weird stuff (competitors can do that better). 

Real time reporting: Like people are not busy enough during the contest 
minding their own operation, they need to see what competitors are doing?
Personally, I want to run like hell and when it is all over, I would like to 
see how the others did. 
So what, if W3LPL is ahead by 200k points, are you going to step on the gas? 
Otherwise you would operate your usual "leisurely" way? Lets get real here.

We need one point for own country QSO in CQ WW, post the logs on the web 
after the contest (if you want to be listed in results) and results processed in 
30 or so days, not nine months. 

That's IMHO, YMMV.
