I agree that online logs are more of a problem than they are worth.  The
overhead on the DXpedition is just one more thing they need to worry about
and staff for.   This is a great example of how it increases the q rate for
them and allowing others not to make a contact.

If they must, then they shouldn't post the logs until they know they are
100% accurate as it does cause even more confusion.  I also know I made a
160 contact with them and my entry is not in the log (yet).  But, I am not
going to try to work them again as I am confident of my contact and it only
prevents others from making a contact.

This is ham radio and we need to ensure that it was a quality contact on the
air, not backing it up online.

my 2 cents
