[CQ-Contest] CWT Virus has spread to ARRL 10M - WPX next?

[dimitri cosson]

Excuse my ignorance but I don't understand why this poses a problem to you other than the fact that you don't like cut numbers. 
You know what type of repors the  contest you're taking part requires so this does not cause any comprehension problems (besides I am not sure that you transmit 599 instead of 5NN...). 
So is this your ham spirit to want to impose your way of operating on those who do not practice the same way as you?

Is there nothing more important in your life ?
