>From the 2008 CQWW Rules page:

4. Electronic log submission: We
want your electronic log. The Committee
requires an electronic log for any
possible high-scoring log. By submitting
a log to the CQ WW Contest, the entrant
agrees to have the log open to the public.
If possible, we would appreciate
complete frequencies in the log.


If you don't like it...don't submit your log.

NOW...could we move ON please to something of 'interest'.
