[CQ-Contest] Remote contest operation

[Richard Thorne]

I don't think its wrong at all and don't share your or Paul's 'opinion'.

I do enjoy the rantings of Paul as he does this every chance he gets.

If I remember correctly, W2UP, was asking a technical question regarding 
remote operating.  Paul, as usual, quickly posted his objection which 
was never a question in the original post.

But I'll sit back as Paul dissects my response.  I wonder if he can 
inject a sail boat analogy in here some where.......
