If they're so useless, why then does CQ recognise the value
of having separate categories.  It's worth taking a look at
http://www.cqww.com/raw.htm?mode=cw - showing the calculated
raw scores for CQWW CW 2014.

There are 46 categories listed, and that's without including
the Classic and Rookie sub-categories. Is anyone complaining?

There are many reasons why CQWW is the world's most popular
contest, and the number of categories is one of them.

This "useless discussion" is unlikely to go away, and it would
be helpful if the WRTC2018 Committee members reconsidered
their unanimous decision to eliminate unassisted categories.
They might all be mistaken.
