And Jim AF6O asked:
Here's another one:

Which do you think is more healthy for the contest:

1. Equiping a rover that ends up only working W2SZ.

2. Not equiping a rover at all.

Jim, AF6O

Jim, I'll choose option #2.  The idea of helping a rover station out 
and then attaching the condition that said rover must work *only* a 
certain station is so repugnant that I would hope the rover would 
also choose option #2.  Or say to W2SZ (using your example, not 
mine), "Thanks for the equipment, I'll make sure to work you and 
everyone else as much as I possibly can."  

Option #1 is just wrong.  Can't believe that we're even debating 
these matters.  I admire your ability to stand up and say what's on 
your mind, Jim, but I believe that an overwhelming majority of the 
hams here are against the concept of captive rovering.

Jim, can you tell me why you think Tree's question wasn't worthy 
of an answer and that you instead asked yours?
