I have another suggestion...

...how's about an article on how easily the ops with COMPUTERS AND 
CONTEST LOGGING SOFTWARE blow away the competition.. Look at a couple of 
years worth of contest scores and compare the highest LOGGING SOFTWARE 
scores to the highest done with PAPER AND PENCILS scores (in high and
low power categories) to show that the best LOGGING PROGRAM scores on 
average 1/4th to 1/3rd higher than the best WRITTEN BY HAND scores; that 
LOGGING SOFTWARE provides a greater advantage than by WRITING ALL THAT 
DAMN STUFF BY HAND(compare PAPER AND PENCIL high power to LOGGING 
SOFTWARE low power scores which shows that LOGGING SOFTWARE LP wins over
HAND WRITTEN HP almost every time); and, why contest committees,led by 
the ARRL, continue to refuse to acknowledge the LOGGING SOFTWARE 
advantage, including published admissions by top LOGGING SOFTWARE ops 
that it is a fantastic, though somewhat complicated and costly advantage 
to obtain.

anyone else have any ideas?
