[RTTY] What is this auto mode that QRM's me?

And shouldn't the two ARRL directors who are shepherding this fiasco through 
the paper mill be disqualified from voting?  Doesn't ARRL have any policy 
guidelines on "conflict of interest"?  Or doesn't it apply in cases 
involving serious bucks to be made?

Follow the money... Who stands to gain from this and how. I don't know
but I bet the results might be enlightening.
