Hi Tom,

         I feel verification is important no matter what the
issue is (technical, operating/contest achievements, etc).
If I truly didn't care about verification, I would simply post my
contest score and not bother submitting my log for cross-
checking and verification by the sponsor.  Verify technical
issues...verify contest scores...but not verify claimed award
achievements?  Seems a little inconsistent to me.
