Totally disagree, but to each his own. Nothing about contesting
mandates boredom. I especially like JARTS where the exchange is the
op's age and contests where the name is the exchange. Some interesting
(i.e. made up) names pop up from time to time. Next time I might be
Zuul (from Ghostbusters).

OK, but why not test our ability with something non-boring?  Life is
to short to waste it finding out what time the other guy has.
