Because it's the most damned fun SS will ever be?
Sure, it's not for everyone, but don't begrudge someone who obviously so
enjoys it that he has that weekend booked for the foreseeable future.
And don't for a moment think that it's easy. Average ops could go in there
and make a total mess of it. Just think, those "Please copy..." guys
wouldn't stand a chance. There's absolutely nothing "hollow" about it.
Don't knock it till you try it.
I certainly won't, 'cuz I'd love to go and do that myself. And I'd have no
problem making it a yearly ritual, either.

ps: Forgive me, but are we really needing to explain this to a contester?
