I   now realize from the postings on this reflector that

I am not a real  DX'er
I am not a real contester

The problem is that I casually enter  the contest , I use
the cluster network, and I generally only make around  1,000
qsos.. I do submit my logs .. ( as assisted )

I thought that  even my few qsos might promote the contest,
I never thought that my efforts  would be regarded as those
of an inferior ham , ( just because the cluster  was on here ).

Recent postings have convinced me , that running  assisted is
regarded as a undesireable in the contesting genre. Until I  dump
the cluster I will never gain any respect from the so-called
elite  members of the non-assisted club.

Nevertheless I will carry on ,  enjoying the hobby in my way,
even though I will be a Cluster scumbag in  some folks views.
