[RTTY] WriteLog screen shots

[Barry Kutner]

Shelby,
Since you replied to the reflector, I will do the same...

We clearly have a difference of opinion. I believe my comments are 
perfectly appropriate to the RTTY Reflector, as it deals with RTTY 
and contesting, both of which are related. 
I also believe my comment about RTTY scores not being posted to 
the WL reflector is also valid, as the contest scores have nothing to 
do with Writelog. 
I can't comment about the NAQP soapbox, as I didn't read any of 
them. I didn't operate the contest, so they all got deleted on arrival.

If this is what you want, here it is:
I'm the world's best RTTY op (at least in the CQWW RTTY 2000 
LP), and I used Writelog.

Not particularly tasteful nor helpful, is it?
