[CQ-Contest] The Calling Disease...

[David Gilbert]

Fundamentally, the blame for that rests on the running station.  Some 
will answer the offender, and most don't take the time to discipline the 
crowd.  You aren't going to convince LIDs to behave in a manner that the 
running station won't enforce.
