And as a person who runs a contest, I have a vested and personal  
interest that CW remains around as long as possible.

What we have here is an apparent radical difference in interpretation  
to boot. Some see CW skimmer as opening the floodgates to completely  
automated operations, and others see it as cool technology.

If automated stations are the end result of technological advanced, I  
want to see the automated rtty stations.
