[CQ-Contest] Driving at 4AM

[W0MU Mike Fatchett]

Not to mention illegal searches and mandatory drug tests.  Over the top and
a political stand which has nothing to do with contesting. 

So far I have yet to hear one compelling argument why logs should not be
open.

Because I don't like it doesn't fly in my book.

Now *that's* over the top!  Slavery?  Give me a break!

I think I read the same public commentary as you did, David, and I thought
it was almost uniformly opposed to your position.  Since any controversial
topic on this reflector tends to draw the vociferous on both sides, that
suggests to me that the balance of contester opinion is not on your side.

I'm not suggesting that you did anything wrong, just that you *are* wrong on
this one.
