[CQ-Contest] Automation = lost essential skills

[Joe]

other than the "N" of cut numbers I absolutely hate all the others.If 
you send them to me, you won't be going faster because it's gonna take 
me time to figure out what you sent.

you could have sent 599 at 2 words per minute and it will make a faster 
exchange, than me trying to remember what any cut number other than "N" 
means.
