This is depressing.  How can this mailing list be relevant
and interesting to new contesters in the face of such
obstinate and relentless negativity?

A "station inspection" means just that - no more and no less.

Station inspections, like tax audits or drug tests, may be
targeted or random or universal.  Athletes who compete have
no right to complain about drug tests, and contesters (those
who submit entries) have no right to complain about station
inspections.
