[CQ-Contest] Log checking errors

[David Gilbert]

I'm not sure I've ever seen righteous indignation carried to such 
ridiculously unwarranted extremes on such a relatively minor issue, and 
directed toward such an undeserving crew of volunteers.  Somebody 
really, really, really, really, really needs to get a life.

"too foul and ungentlemanly to describe" ????  Give me a break.

Is there an April Fool's Day equivalent in July that I don't know about?
