My personal preference is not using any of these "crutches" for
contesting. This puts me in the "active decoding" state while logging
QSOs, where a mistake (bust) is fully attributable to my skill. It is
too easy to fall into false sense of security of a "Check this and while
you're at it, check that" database fever and not even pay attention to
what the program puts into the RX field.
But that's just my style, I guess. I love CW!

This is a classic example of cutting off your nose to spite your face.
The person who is hurt most by this is likely to be the person who
changes their check every year, because of increased requests for
repeats as compared with someone whose exchange is more predictable.
