Mak, Despite our repeated requests ... yesterday ...

Like I mentioned ... don't these people 'look' at what they write? ... or
note how those that fill in the log correctly do it? ... or even read the Amsat mail?.
What can one do?.
Statistics are no use to man nor beast if they're incorrect - and over the
first 3 months of this year there are enough errors to ensure that the statistics *ARE* wrong ... agreed, they're only small mistakes and agreed that - "it's only a hobby" - but what is the point in filling in the log in the first place if you're not going to do it correctly?.
Having pointed out the errors once, twice and three times on both bulletin
boards in the last 14 days I assumed that ought to be enough - obviously it wasn't ... so I don't know about you but I'm not going to bother anymore.
Since the main "contenders" are English speaking one cannot blame the
language. The panes are clear enough and cannot be misconscrued. The hour glass is self explanitory - you yourself have explained more than once how to fix things if they do occasionally go amok - (data is "data") - I'm referring to the - 'remember me' - checkbox issue.
It's a pity such a useful resource is allowed to become a mess.
EOR ... (End of rant).
