I am in complete agreement with this. When I work a rag-chewer in a  
contest, I do it for the QSO points. But I work few of these,  
certainly not 10% of my QSO total.

Like tree, I would be very suspicious of someone who's log included a  
high number of uniques. I think the big question is the difference  
between "high" and "just a few."
