[CQ-Contest] Check numbers again

[Bill Parry]

As far as I am concerned, you can't ignore any of the rules. I don't find
the argument that since contest sponsors don't check this item, a very
compelling reason not to follow the rules.

Having worked with kids all my life, it reinforces why kids seem to feel
anything is ok, as long as they are not caught. - and we thought it was a
"kid" thing! The rules are... enforcement is something different.

But it also says:

The required exchange consists of: 

4.4. Check (the last two digits of the year you were
first licensed); 


If I can ignore that one, why can't I also ignore rule
4.1?
