[CQ-Contest] Why?

[Joe]

Because fewer and fewer people actually can or do "LISTEN" The Click and 
pounce crowd is getting bigger and bigger all the time. They hear people 
calling so they call,,  They keep calling till they hear their own call. 
everything else is a blur and ignored. If they hear anyone calling they 
think it's also good for them to call so it is a self perpetuating mess! 
It is also a pet peeve of mine too. If i ever had the chance to be at 
the other end, I'd make a list of lid's like this, and make sure they 
never get worked.

But Just my own opinion.
