Maybe there should be a contest just for those of us in this category. 
I can see the plaque now:  "Worked All Weenies".

I've been enjoying contesting since I got into it and I try to put my 
best effort into it but so far it hasn't helped pay my mortgage.  On the 
contrary, I have spent more, in terms of money, on trying to improve my 
station than I've gotten back (in terms of money).  But, I've had fun.

I wish that some of the concern for seconds would go into listening a 
bit more instead of transmitting.  I passed over trying to contact 
several stations this weekend when I kept seeing the end of their CQ 
printing as soon as the carrier from my response to them stopped.  When 
I couldn't find a rhythm to break in between their CQ calls I gave up 
and moved on.  But, maybe they just couldn't hear my weeny signal.
