My friend Ken, WM5R, asks:

It's easy to blow this idea out of proportion.

Frankly, I don't really care which way the wind happens to be blowing, I 
think it's a great moment when a close friend you've cultivated over years 
and years of shoulder-to-shoulder competition slides down onto your 
frequency in a CD Party on Sunday afternoon to pass along "VE8 up 7."

I would not trade those moments for the world.

Somehow equating this to stating "please post VE8s" on the internet during a 
radio contest makes me feel like I've been violated.
