[CQ-Contest] Top Ten scores & 3830 postings?

[Georgens, Tom]

I think it is unfair to question the accuracy or integrity of a log
solely because the results are not posted on 3830.  However, I do
consider it a breach of contest etiquette.  With the long lead-time to
published results, 3830 has greatly facilitated the ability to get rapid
feedback on one's performance, albeit preliminary.  To not post one's
score should not diminish a competitor's accomplishment, however, it is
a dis-service to rest of the competitors and reflects poorly on the
individual

This is becoming a more widespread practice. Some folks simply don't
appreciate the scrutiny of having their 3830-posted score compared with
their final score.

Too bad. Sunlight is the best disinfectant.
