[Cwo] log check question: hard-ass or not?

[Don Greenbaum]

My personal feeling is george is in there because the logging programs self populate with George (what's in the database)..

Some guys are only out there giving points and are not competitive.   Save yourself the work and count them.

If we find two stations are within 3 or points of winning and you want to see how carefully they copied why not then look.

I was in it for the fun only making around 300 or so Q.   I might be one of those just hitting return and not caring about my score or what he sent for his name (ie. hear geo and that's close enough).
