     So, it's not good enough that others are altruistically doing your 
work for you, it's important that they do near-perfect work for you, and 
if they don't, we should "expose" them and start humiliating them in public?

     Did I get that right?

So, how about some post-contest comparisons of spotted calls against the SCP database? For those who have posted 50 or more spots during the contest, what percent appear to be busted calls? Listed from highest percent to lowest, that would be a good way to expose the worst and the best!
