[CQ-Contest] When is a QSO not a QSO?

[Kelly Taylor]

I certainly would not support having a computer compete in a contest on its 
own.

However, does that invalidate the match between Kasparov and Big Blue?

I don't think computer-controlled contesting and remote operation by a human 
are anywhere near the same issue. In one, the operator is a computer. In the 
other, the operator simply has longer control wires.
