[Dx-qsl] bureau

Steve,

Now THAT'S a good idea.  I'd endorse that notion -- if a DX station (or
his/her manager) declines, for whatever reason, to accept bureau cards, what
better way to tell people?  Fair enough -- if I know that, then I can make
my own informed decision on whether or not I want the card and how badly.

Folks, we are urinating up the proverbial rope on this one.  Managers
are volunteers and I don't think we have the right to tell them how to
run their operation.  This keeps coming up.  It is a waste of our time.
You never know all the facts.  Most QSL managers are honorable folks
with a tough job.  Ray just gave you a good reason why some buro cards
don't get answered.

The ONLY thing I would like to see is the manager tell QRZ-DX, GOLIST,
etc. that they DON'T accept buro cards so we can make an informed
decision as to whether we need the card bad enough to pay the freight.
I think that would be more than fair to everyone.

What do you think???????

Sorry Kay, I lied!  :)))))))
