[CQ-Contest] Easy way to correct answer

[Jim Roller]

Rules Interpretation Solution:
 
First, the sponsoring entity will hire the country's best legislation 
writing lawyers to insure all the rules are written so there can be no 
room for interpretation, ironclad and cannot be understood by anyone 
other than the authors.
 
Second, each participant will hire or retain the best lawyer he can 
afford to interpret and find all the loopholes in the rules and stand 
ready to defend the participant from any negative rulings, including any 
and all appeals.
 
Third, to paraphrase the bard, "We kill all the lawyers".
 
My apologies to the legal profession, but it seems this is the only 
workable solution. Oh,
if this doesn't work, our country's penal institutions are full of 
jailhouse lawyers who have as much time as needed to pick apart and 
complain about contest rules. By the way, have any of you folks have 
ever tried to write contest rules or volunteered to help write rules? If 
not, it appears that we should get some of you folks on the rules 
committees so it can be done clearly, concisely and with no ambiguities. 
It is obvious from all the posts on this thread we have several experts 
who can really do contesting a tremendous service.
 
My legal fees preclude me being able to afford a flameproof suit, so 
I'll just crawl back in my shell and will not respond to the heat. I 
have a good cooling system.

p.s. I have nothing but respect and admiration for those in the legal 
profession. This is just where this (hopefully ending) thread seems to 
be going.
