[CQ-Contest] Contesting is dead? Yeah, right.

Pointless argument on the CQ-Contest reflector, No. 1: we are all geriatrics 
and amateur radio in general, and contesting in particlar, is dying.

Pointless argument on the CQ-Contest reflector, No. 2: I've never heard such 
QRM for CQ World Wide.  My, some EVIL people were CQing in the CW band on 40 
and I've never heard such bad QRM on 20.

Even if we ignore record scores in big contests in recent years isn't there 
something inherently contradictory in these comments?

Or are radio amateurs only happy when they have something to complain about?
