I'll assume that Dave (TTT) and others have it correct in that Skimmers will be 
directed into
spotting nets (packet/internet/etc) when used by whomever ends up being allowed 
to use
it (minimally, multi-op and assisted entrants).
Therefore, more GENUINE ADVANTAGES of Skimmer will include:
1.  Fraudulent (prohibited) self-spotting will be unnecessary.  K1TTT will be 
"out of 
business" in terms of reporting self-spotters (I hope).  I must admit that I 
always enjoy
reading his analyses, though.
2.  Cheerleader squads will no longer be necessary, nor will they provide a 
potentially
unfair advantage to those stations who are spotted less often.
