REPLY:

Most folks including me agree, but it's up to the contest sponsors. For
now, most rules require it. Theoretically, if you don't send it you
could get disqualified, although I've never heard of this happening. 

Maybe if we all write the sponsors, something might be done. 

There are a few contests which do not require it. Good for them.
