[CQ-Contest] Cut numbers in SSCW

[KI9A at aol.com]

I've noticed in the last couple of years, there seems to be more and more  
use of cut numbers in SS. 
 
Guys, this is NOT the place to use them.  With the mix of numbers and  
letters,  the confusion is much higher than something like WPX.  One  guy gave 
me dit dahdit for his check.  It was 59. I asked for a fill.   But, my brain 
wants to tell me its the beginning of ENY.  I can copy 40 WPM  with not much 
problem, and QSO in well of excess of 30. I can copy CW pretty  well. But, 
my brain doesn't react quick enough during the exchange, and I  end up 
missing the next part while the stupid cut numbers are processing.  
 
EVERY guy that gave me cut numbers, I asked for a fill on purpose.   Call 
me a bad man, but, hey, it is what it is.
