Your question has no relevance to the issue in this thread.
As I said before - "you don't have to be an actor to be a critic".

No, I'm saying that the use of KST in amateur radio contests is incompatible
with retaining the name of the activity as "amateur radio contesting".  KST
is an internet-based real- time communications system.

You know I didn't say that.

The rules generally mean what they say, no more and no less.
They do not prohibit entrants from using logging software with those
facilities disabled.

You tell me - you probably have more experience of VHF contests :-)  People
like features in software, even if they don't use them all.

Once again, your question has no relevance to the issue.

Now you have them :-)
