[CQ-Contest] Mode-X

[David Gilbert]

I never suggested any of those things, and they are all totally 
superfluous to my proposal.  It is an old and completely bogus debating 
technique to extrapolate somebody's position to the ridiculous, like you 
are doing now.

By the way what you are describing is basically FT8 carried to an 
extreme ... and what I have been proposing is the result of me trying to 
arrive at something that is different enough from FT8 that it would be a 
desirable contesting mode.
