Steve and any other QSL managers - a question...

I have a couple of QSL cards I'm waiting from stateside managers that were
sent before the increase was announced. I included the SASE at 34 cents at
the time (some with a GS or two for their help, some without).

So in general, would QSL managers apprecite a follow-up donation with a
mention that I'm still waiting for a confirmation?

I ask this because I don't want to add more incoming mail for you guys and
gals. You all do a great job and the last thing I want to do is add more
work for you.

Thanks for your help.
