[CQ-Contest] serial numbers

[Ron Notarius W3WN]

Progressive.
Sequential.
Incremental.
Consecutive.

I should think the intention, obviously, is that you start with 1 for the
first QSO, 2 for the second, 3 for the 3rd, and so on.  

Such a simple concept.  And yet it appears to be somewhat controversial...
else why would there be so much arguing about it?

This is what the rules say:

 Exchange: RS(T) report plus a progressive contact serial number
starting with 001 for the first contact

A progressive serial number. Is that the same as a sequential number, or
not?
