If that happens, better replace me, then.  I haven't done a lot of 
RTTY contest (probably still less than 2k QSO's in RTTY contests).

I spent a couple of hours last weekend in BARTG.

Punching a couple of buttons was not really my idea of contesting. 
 Sure, I had to tune for a new station.  But, once I found him and 
clicked my Call button and he recognized me and sent his exchange, I 
clicked my exchange button to him, it was done.

CQ runs were even less energetic:  Call CQ.  Click on a highlighted 
callsign.  Send Exchange.  Software recognizes serial number and time 
received and logs it.  Send TU button.  Yawn.

I felt more like an observer than a participant.

Give me CW any day.
