[CQ-Contest] CQ WW Scoring System needs revision?

[W0MU Mike Fatchett]

But there is Coke Zero and it is good!

Change can be good.

Just because it is great for you guys in the North East and other areas 
doesn't mean that it is great for everyone.

CQ can do whatever they want with their contest.

There is no harm in discussing new ideas and scoring.  Quit freaking out 
about the subject line.
