Mark-very well said..As W8ZR noted earlier this horse has been beat to death
enough..As has been well enumerated ad nauseum some like it some don't.
Let's leave it at that and move on.

Seems to me the final judge in all of this is the guy who stares back at you
from the mirror every morning. There are a million ways to game the rules
and outright cheat ... even in ham radio, where the rewards for a "win" are
pretty abstract. If the guy gazing straight back at you is comfortable with
your operating practices, how I feel about it is pretty irrelevant. We can
preach about good sportsmanship and high standards until we're collectively
blue in the face but, so long as there are people whose operating philosophy
is "the end justifies the means," we're wasting our breath. At the end of
the day, whether my logs, QSLs and awards reflect an honest effort or mere
"scores" empty of other significance is something that matters to me (and
the guy in the mirror). YMMV.
