[Dx-qsl] Non Responsive DXer

[Gary Danaher]

Never been able to actually TALK to him. He has an answering machine, 
and I've left messages but never get a response. His emails don't bounce 
so I guess he gets them, and the post cards aren't returned by the post 
office, so I presume that those were delivered. The previous card sorter 
indicated he was a long standing problem, but this is ridiculous. 
Anyway, the W5 buro has a web page at mdxa.org and the cards held by 
each sorter are posted and available to look at. It is a month out of 
date right now, but if you look for a 1x2 K5Y something with a couple 
hundred cards, you'll know who I am talking about. Problem with sending 
these back is that it is going to cost several dollars in postage to 
mail them to Newington. No doubt they will refund the cost, but it rolls 
back into the fees that YOU pay for buro services. I just wish there was 
a way to easily notify everyone, cheaply, that he's a deadbeat. Yes 
gang, I have a call, AB5RM. Sorry for the oversight.
