[RTTY] BARTG Exchange?

[GU6EFB]

Hi Steve and group

If the rules state that RST is part of the exchange and one is not sent and
one is not forthcoming I ignore the contact as it is not a valid contest
exchange.

Well, let's just say I'm "blowing the whistle" on a few individuals 
(although I won't mention any names/callsigns). During the contest, on 
more than one occasion, the exchange DID NOT include the RST (599). In 
my mind, this should be an invalid contact... both for the SENDING and 
RECEIVING stations. I even mentioned it to one individual, and he/she 
thought it was a big joke and proceeded to keep going without ever 
sending the RST portion. What is the general thought on this matter? 
Overlook it, or should the individual(s) entry not be scored and 
submitted as a 'check log' ? I kept going back to listen to this 
particular station and found it interesting that NOBODY else mentioned 
the absence of RST.

I'm just hardcore for RULES... by withholding the RST, that creates an 
unfair advantage in favor of that station (shorter exchange).

Maybe I just need to get off my soapbox, huh?
