Okay guys, you all do realize that this statement was said in jest,
right? :-) I didn't make it real obvious because I wanted to pull a
few chains.
I suppose that wasn't nice, but anyway... Rules changes aren't going
to help anyone complaining -- they won't have any more fun next year
than they had this year. It's an attitude. Those of us out to have
fun, "win" every time.
Here's my thought for a real new rule:
Contest Rule #0: "If the contest (your hobby) isn't fun, don't do it."
I gotta go do some un-fun stuff now, like mow the half-dead lawn.
(We're on pace to break the record for most contiguous 90F+ degree
days in Denver, ever. It's hot. So if I sound like a loon, well...
chalk it up to me not having Air Conditioning and go have fun anyway.)
After that, maybe I'll get a few hours to play in the ham shack.
Yay! Fun!
