[CQ-Contest] [SPAM] Re: no no no...it MUST be 579 (was 599)

[Joe]

And a Major Skill that is!

Or at least for me one i have not mastered.  If someone sends me 
anything other than 599, (what I'm expecting to hear,  yeah yeah,  i 
know,  lets all copy whats sent!)  anyway if it's other than the generic 
599,  having to edit whats already filled in and still not miss the rest 
of the exchange really slows me down a LOT.  I'd bet during a good run 
my rate drops by 25% I'd bet.
