[CQ-Contest] public logs-who's forcing you?

[w1md at cfl.rr.com]

So,

Who is 'forcing' you to share secrets Ron? (Rhetorically speaking)

And to your earlier comment about logs being 'work product' to some? So contesting is WORK now? I always thought it was FUN? And most definitions of 'work product' reference to definitions of Attorney work product not being discoverable...hmmmm...
