I'm not sure I'd be so quick to say that.  I think sometimes it's too easy
to forget that the incoming ARRL bureau's are subsidized, which is why the
cost to you to get your cards comes down to the cost of envelopes and
postage.  That is not always the case in other parts of the world.

At least RW6HS, W3HC and others are up front when they state "no bureau
cards,"  and they have reasons.  You may not like them, but they have them.
Contrast this with certain contest stations who simply tell their bureaus to
pitch their incoming cards, claiming it's "too expensive" to be bothered
with them.  Or certain contest and special event stations who keep your
Green Stamps and IRC's and then tell you to download a jpeg file from a web
site because it's too much trouble or bother to answer cards.

This is a perfect example of a person who SHOULD NOT be a QSL manager for
other people.  If he cant handle cards via a buro FOR ANY REASON, then he
shouldnt voluenteer to be a manager.  Tgere are plent out there that can and
do handle cards via all means.  "

PLEASE TAKE NOTICE. QSL Manager Vasilij, RW6HS, states, "Every month I
   receive hundreds of QSLs via the QSL bureau. I will not answer cards
   sent to me via the bureau. I must pay for all cards coming to me via
   the QSL bureau. Send direct only. Please notify your DX clubs and your
   national society and tell your members to QSL to RW6HS direct only with
   send SASE or SAE with postage. IRC must be stamped in the lower LEFT
   hand box by your post office to be any good for return postage. Russia's
   post offices will not accept IRC's that already bare a stamp on them.
   They cannot be cashed in for postage in the Russia. I shall help you
   with reception answer-back QSL from Russia and CIS. You much more reduce
   the post expenses. That your envelope was received by me 100 %. As far
   as possible send your envelope - registered mail. Send direct ONLY to
   RW6HS no bureau cards please."
