What?

Why?

If you want to check logs than please setup an address to receive 
logs at - do not include them in your 3830 posting.  I am sure you 
could figure out a better way for people to check their work.

There are many reasons why this is a bad idea. 

- It takes up more storage space (this is a small reason)

- It makes it much harder to search the 3830 list in the future 
  since now if I search for a callsign I will not just get their posts
  I will get all the logs they show up in - it will make searching almost
  usless over time.  (big reason)

And I am sure once I wake up fully I can voice a few more reasons
why I do not like the logs posted into the 3830 postings.

So, speaking as one of the admins for contesting.com - please do not
post your logs as part of your 3830 postings.  

Thank you.
