[PaQSO] Another question

[Peter Albright]

Hi Mike,
     Thanks for opening up this issue to discussion. I have earned the right to speak on the topic because I probably submitted more summary sheets (31 counties plus 1 overall = 32) than any other participant in this year's PAQP. The task was neither daunting nor onerous. 
     Mike, you are a superhero for the job you do. Whatever rules you decide on with are OK with me. When I screw up (like last year :) ), shame on me, not on you.
73,

Mike,

I fail to see the big problem with sending in a summary sheet. In my opinion, your argument for them is valid .

It took me all of 15 minutes to fill out and mail my summary sheet yesterday. The fill in and print format is awesome.

If I read your previous e-mail correctly, the submittal of a summary sheet will be voluntary, with a 300pt bonus for those who choose to submit one.

My apologies if I've misread something here.
