Let me see if I understand this correctly.

You spend a few hours per year operating a contest and submitting your 
results, some of which undoubtedly has errors despite your best personal 
efforts.  However, you expect flawless performance from mostly 
volunteers who spend countless hundreds of hours cross checking 
thousands of logs and compiling results for dozens of operating 
categories ... all while trying to weed out cheaters who go to great 
lengths to hijack the system.  You pay squat for all that effort (other 
than your subscription to CQ Magazine), but yet it is supposed to have 
zero errors because you "deserve it"?

What planet do you live on?
