[WIQPmail] Contest Logging Programs and Scoring

[Hank Greeb]

I NEVER pay attention to what a logging program tells me for my score.  
most of the time, in the cabrillo file, I delete the calculated score 
line because it isn't needed, or I set my score to "0" (zero) because 
the scoring robot will recalculate the score anyway.

I've very seldom had a "golden log" so my calculated score is typically 
more (if I bother to include it) than the final adjucated score.

Why do people bother with this "calculated score?"  "Who knows, what 
lurks in the hearts of men...  Only the SHADOW knows!"
