[CQ-Contest] I hate ITU prefills

I play in contests to have fun.

When I play in contests, I only really seek to maximize my fun.

When the contest is done, my entry class will correspond to how I sought to maximize my fun, even if my entry class ends out being "CHECKLOG".

I don't consider that cheating, although I will acknowledge that what I'm doing is something that is different from others who maximize their fun by only coloring inside traditional lines.  That's OK with me, and I choose not to be bothered by those who disagree.  (I even usually appreciate why they disagree.)

And when it comes to prefills...I like them because it means I have to do less typing.  The onus is still on me to copy what's sent, but at least I have to spend less effort most Q's interacting with the logger, and therefore can have more fun listening to what's coming through my headphones.

It is interesting to note the hypocrisy in the cheating debate. Folks abhor certain forms of cheating and at the same time embrace other forms of cheating. Such as pre-fills and super check partial.
