> Some here have proposed that we could solve the “problems” in contesting

> changing clothes during marathons, and perhaps some other well-reasoned 
> solutions that have escaped my notice.
>
> I’ve given all these proposals their due consideration, and during those 
> considerations I had one of those epiphany moments which occur quite 
> frequently for me lately, most commonly after consuming an excess of BY or 
> XE-flavored food.

> “The Solution” formed in my mind as I considered the brilliant proposal of 
> a fellow from south of here who posits that single operators who cheat by 
> taking unclaimed assistance can be made righteous by simply declaring that 
> all single operators are assisted, whether they are or not.  Consider the 
> awesome power of that proposal.  We eliminate the sinner by eliminating 
> the sin!  (Note to self:  Check out that internet site offering low cost 
> divinity licenses, and surplus army tents suitable for revival meetings.)

> “Eliminate the Sin” --- that starkly simple thought is the kernel of the 
> Grand Solution which will forever rid our beloved sport of the problem of 
> cheaters.

> Problem: Single ops cheat by taking unclaimed assistance?
> Solution: Eliminate the Sin.  Put all single ops in the Single Op Assisted 
> category.
>
> Problem: Single Op Assisted QRPers and LP guys cheat by running HP 
> transmitters?
> Solution:  Eliminate the Sin.  Put them all in the Single Op Assisted HP 
> category.
>
> Problem: Single Op Assisted HP operators cheat by running “southern Europe 
> kilowatts”?
> Solution:  Eliminate the Sin.  Put them all in the Single Op Assisted 
> Unlimited Power category.
>
> Problem: Single Op Assisted Unlimited Power guys cheat by having a friend 
> sit in the chair while they take a much needed nap.
> Solution:  Eliminate the Sin.  No more Single Ops.  Put them all in the 
> Assisted Unlimited Power Multi-Op Single Transmitter category.
>
> Problem: Assisted Unlimited Power Multi-Op Single Transmitter stations 
> cheat by running 2 transmitters.
> Solution: Eliminate the Sin.  No more M/S category.  Put those righteous 
> people in the Assisted Unlimited Power Multi-Op Two Transmitter category
>
> Problem: Assisted Unlimited Power Multi-Op Two Transmitter stations are 
> found cheating by having more than 2 active transmitters.
> Solution: Eliminate the Sin.  No more M/2 category.  Put those 
> transgressors in the Assisted Unlimited Power Unlimited Transmitter 
> category
>
> Problem: Assisted Unlimited Power Unlimited Transmitter persist in the 
> practice of “scrubbing” their logs before submitting.
> Solution: Eliminate the Sin.  No more logs.  Just send in your score.
>
> Problem: Somebody notices that we now have only one entry category.
> Solution: Eliminate the Sin.  Establish a new Single Operator category. 
> No transmitters allowed to eliminate the possibility of cheating.
