[CQ-Contest] How many more creative subjects using"skimmer" are there?

What is it about having to send your log in right after the contest is over
that would deter or "discourage" anyone from doing so?

What's the big deal?

Sending an email - with your log attached - right after the contest is over
- is no more difficult than what I am doing right now to send this email.

I'm sorry, I disagree with your disagreement...

You said:  "'What? I'll have to send my log in within one hour
after the contest ends? Who do they think they are? Forget it!'.

Gimme a break!"


This will be a great way to discourage the "minimal contester" who makes a 
few dozen or maybe a hundred contacts. You're absolutely right. Forget it! 
The net effect will be to reduce the number of smaller logs that would make 
their way into the log cross-checking process.

The question is: Do you want to encourage contesting at all levels, or do 
you want to focus resources on discovering and eliminating cheaters?
