<in jest>Yes, we should also stop talking about the contest afterwards 
to our friends. They will talk to their friends, and they will talk to 
their friends, and pretty soon everyone will know where we were and what 
we sent during the contest. And that just isn't right! So from now on 
everyone should post false zones and sections and encrypted after-action 
reports here on the list. I keep my logs behind a door with a retina 
scan installed, at least until the submission deadline.</in jest>

In all seriousness, I agree that looking up callbook data after the 
contest is wrong. I also think that it is also totally impractical, and 
I don't think the top competitors are doing it. I'm not even sure how 
much advantage can be gleaned from it, unless you need a TON of fills - 
in which case, you aren't much of a threat anyway.

Chances are, the bump in lookups is from casual operators. And we should 
just be glad they're giving us some points.
