[RTTY] Wait...

[Jeff AC0C]

I don't get the nod-off - but my affliction is a sort of mental thousand 
yard glare that last for a minute, typically occurring on the far end of the 
contest as my body is telling my caffeine soaked brain that I really should 
stop this nonsense and assume a horizontal position like other sane humans.

Any time I see a slow reply, I just figure the guy has the same sort's of 
issues that I'm having.  Like correcting call signs, or to get my cursor 
moved to the state because I just dumped the guy's name into the state 
column or a lot of other keyboard/mouse/mental gymnastic failures.  The 
lower the band, the worse the prop, the more QRM, the longer into the 
contest it is - the worse it becomes.  I am pretty sure that the other guy 
is not choosing to make me wait just for the heck of it.

If all excuses are to be declared illegitimate - then I would expect a 
fellow's going to have a pretty poor contest experience just about every 
time out.

And don't forget the possibility that an old and dumb person (i.e. ME)
might nod off.
Been dere and done dat!
