[UK-CONTEST] Bad Publicity

[Bob Henderson]

Richard,

This is fascinating.   I favour disqualification for clear breaches of 
contest rules but I am a contester.  Hitherto I have imagined 
non-contesters wouldn't give a damn.

I've long believed that difficulty in finding a clear frequency for 
non-contest pursuits is what most annoys those who don't share our passion.

What evidence supports your assertion?
