[n8de at thepoint.net]

Not to be 'political', but, in 2010, I WON the "formula" class with  
almost 20 more DXCC worked compared to the others in this class.  CQ  
Mag and K9EL (administrator of this) REFUSED to recognize my  
achievement ... put my entry into "unlimited" class ... and pissed me  
off.
