Yeah, some of them do.Originally Posted by KJ3N
That's when I block them, or create a filter to delete any email from them. Solves it quite nicely. ;)
ETA: This is one reason I don't get that involved with contesting. Some of the people take it WAY too seriously.
I won't block him. I dare not... otherwise, the next stupid idea that comes along will get implemented without any input from those in the minority, like me.
Someone tried, a few years ago, to insist that ALL contesters be REQUIRED to record their operation, be it 10 minutes or all 48 hours... and then be required to make those records available on demand for an indefinite period of time. Some even wanted it to be streamed online in real time.
Now it would be easier to do today than it was at the time... but that's not the point. I was one of those who fought this one off, merely by pointing out that if I had money to invest in my station, I'd put it into antennas, radios, and so forth -- but not computers, extra hard drives, high speed internet connections, and so forth.
These same turkeys still want to do stupid things like this. Seems that they're convinced that since some are suspected of "cheating" (for a certificate? are you kidding me?), ALL must be considered guilty until proven innocent, and be treated accordingly.
I may be an obstinate old fashioned hard core operator... and an a$$hole... but I'll be damned if I let these maroons ruin one of my favorite parts of the hobby because of THEIR paranoia and distrust.
