Yes I am serious
Yes it is a hobby.
But also there are achievement awards. That are to some not worth 
anything but to others they are worth a LOT, it shows their skills and 
effectiveness of THEIR  STATION! And THEIR OPERATING ABILITIES,  Not 
copying the information, and getting the info from a third source is 
cheating in the purest form. And taints the achievements the rest of us 
have made by making the contact with our station alone.

Maybe I'm old skool on this,  but to me unless you did everything 
yourself to make the contact,  then you did not make the contact.

Simple,
