[CQ-Contest] [NCCC] Cheaters, Logs & Self-Policing

[Dave N6NZ]

Here's a clue for you guys...

I *know* about the existence of cq-contest, I was a subscriber for 
years.  It revived my interest in contesting, in fact.  It brought me 
into the NCCC.  Yet, I am not currently a subscriber -- I don't want 
extra traffic in my in box.

People that want to see this traffic are subscribed to cq-contest, 
people that specifically *don't* want to see this traffic made a choice 
to *not* subscribe to cq-contest.

Cross-posting is simply rude.  It is like transmitting two signals 
simultaneously in a contest.  It is like deliberate QRM.  People that 
are subscribe to both lists now see these messages twice, which is 
pointless and annoying.  People that don't want to see them at all see 
them once, which is pointless and annoying.

Please stop cross-posting -- cq-contest discussions should in most cases 
stay on cq-contest.  At most, a *single* post to the nccc reflector to 
make nccc-only subscribers aware of a thread on cq-contest that directly 
impacts the nccc may be appropriate.  Interested parties can go to 
cq-contest to join the discussion.
