[CQ-Contest] Summarizing the Skimmer Accuracy Thread

[JIM NEIGER]

I think psychologists would have a field day analyzing:

PATIENT NUMBER  ONE:  those who must show-off their DXing prowess, copying 
skills etc. by spotting someone else.  "Oh Boy", fellas look who I've found 
and worked, I'm so good, and I worked him before you did.  And please 
forgive me that I busted his call; I'm really not as good as I think I am",

and,

PATIENT NUMBER TWO:   who are so incompetent that inwardly they cannot find 
or copy jack, most probably must rely on PATIENT NUMBER ONE'S, and even if 
they try to grow-up and be a big-shot PATIENT NUMBER ONE, they never can 
quite 'cut the mustard', and live with an inferiority complex throughout 
their DXing and contesting career.  Oh they will try and pull their Big Boy 
Pants on from from time-to-time, maybe even spot EK3LR..........only to be 
publicly ridiculed by the few thousand who must say, "you idiot, how could 
you not know K3LR", and further they spiral into depression.

Ah, packet, skimmers, RBN.  Be careful for what you ask.

I don't feel sorry for anyone on this. No one should ever be working anyone,
spot or not, unless they actually identify the callsign. It's actually good
the skimmer and packet make bad spots and bust the people using skimmer or
the cluster to copy and log a callsign.
