[CQ-Contest] Omitting callign in exchange

[David Gilbert]

That's an odd comment coming from you, Paul.  Rules are rules until they 
get changed and it's hardly up to the participant to decide when a rule 
is "outdated" enough to just ignore.   I can understand some rules being 
ignored because they never get enforced, but in effect that's the tacit 
decision of the rule maker ... not the participant.

73,
