I'm tired of your crap ... it is not a "statement of facts." You are
making up facts to suit yourself and it is uncalled for.

I sell far more single radio products that "SO2R" products. A change
in entry categories - whether it be discriminatory and unenforceable
separate entry categories for "SO1R" and "SO#R" will not effect my
income in any way. People will buy what they want and need.

My personal opinions are my PERSONAL opinions. Since a separate
category will not effect my profit from the "second job" one dime,
I have no financial interest in the number of entry classes in any
contest. However, as one who has used SO2R techniques for more
than 30 years to some degree, I find your bigoted, segregationist
views concerning SO2R to be as repugnant as your constant lies
about me and my alleged motives.

Anyone who has no incentive to improve his performance is no
longer competing - whether he submits a score or not.

That's bullshit. I have done RTTY, CW and SSB contesting in the
last two years - I just haven't had the displeasure of working
YOUR station. Whether I choose to submit a log, or work your
station has nothing to do with the " validity" or "motivation"
behind my comments.
I have participated in contests based on my own interests and other
commitments for more than 30 years. I've managed to attain my
share of "top 10" positions although I do not do so on a regular
basis and I do use SO2R techniques although not extensively when
I feel they are appropriate.
