I don't let them ruin my fun because I simply refuse to play by their rules. I'm in a contest to do things MY way, not anyone else's. Why else would I be nuts enough to try to "limit" myself to 83 Qs to work 83 sections? What "normal" contester does such a thing?
Except for the 2010 DE QSO Party, I've NEVER submitted a contest log. I'm only thinking about submitting my log for SS to get the mug, if I bother to submit my log at all. I did it to prove to myself that I could do it.
