1. With respect to the "created by" line, please express your annoyance
to the contest sponsors, not to the writelog list, as its the sponsors
that require this information. I know of no contest that rejects
containing this information. Is there some reason you are concerned about
the possibility someone knows what software you are running?

2. With respect to rejected submissions, the blame is spread a bit. The
sponsors change their Cabrillo requirements over the years and from
contest to contest and the logging software has to keep up. We try to keep
WL up to date with current contests, and, when we fail, this reflector is
generally flooded with emails of annoyance, so there are no secrets here.
But I have not seen a flood in several months.
