[CQ-Contest] Annoying Trends

[Kelly Taylor]

I don't think anyone's doing this to be vindictive and trick folk...

I think they just believe that contesting isn't just about being quick, it's
about being quick AND accurate. (I mean, the justification we often dust off
and drag out of the closet for contesting is the operator experience, isn't
it?)
