[Dx-qsl] qsling

[Al Bailey]

OK Ray first and foremost the Wings showed the AV's how to play in a big 
way. Poor Roy. HI HI

I agree with you on the QSL issue and as manager for CO2OJ I also have been 
instructed NOT to qsl via the buro. Since it would come out of my pocket 
you can rest assured I do not.

I still get some domestic cards with now SASE and despite sending them 
emails I still get no SASE so they just get no card.

Now to show Carolina what a good Hockey team can do.
