No good, this infringes on egonetmaniacs. :-)
The whole point of QRU "nets" is that everybody has to bow to the his 
excellency king majesty net control, who keeps those who have nothing to say neatly 
organized. 
Jus' listen to 14300 when you have nothing better to do in the shack. Mostly 
between joke and pathetic.
As I said before, contesters can handle any kind of emergency or distress 
traffic better than those net clowns. Been there, done it. If ham is in distress 
he will first look for loudest, smartest (contester) station on the band and 
contact it with request. 14300 et al clowns are wallowing in self 
gratification, remember "DX family hour"?
I am for any ham having fun any way they like it. But requesting to write 
emails to CQ that WPX has destroyed their net on the major contest weekend is 
waaaay too much.
It is also maybe time for us to find out those QRMers that are putting 
carriers and recordings on contester's frequencies. Anyone for search and destroy 
jerks net?
