On the contrary, I think it is admirable that the ARRL:
First, finally is properly recognizing the need for the Single Op/Unlimited
category in these events;
and Second, is NOT forcing those who choose to decline the use of spotting
assistance to directly compete, in their category, with those who do.
Why is there this constant need to force people to conform with ideas they
don't choose to agree with?

It is too bad the ARRL did not take the forward looking position and use
this opportunity to allow all single ops to use spotting assistance. These
contests would benefit from less categories rather than more.
