I enjoy hearing the bitching, whining, moaning, growning and gnashing of teeth
over contests. I used to try to educate the contest haters, now I just try to EGG them on.

Maybe I can raise their blood pressure to the boiling point, ruin their day, cause their
stomach ulcer to flare up, and generally F*** they up. They deserve the aggrivation.

If they don't like contests...do something else.

Wash the car, mow the lawn (or rake leaves in fall), walk the dog or the wife
which ever is appropriate, go out to dinner or just take a long easy weekend
AWAY from amateur radio.

All their whining etc has not changed the contest landscape, it has not stopped or delayed
any contest to date and never will. Contests are a fact of life...either live with them,
or get so upset that you stroke out...Either way it is YOUR choice.

Me...My choice is to try and maintain my SO-LP First place finish in the third call district.
I got last years certificate a few months ago.

Enjoy the slugfest !
