[Dx-qsl] Patience is not a valid factor

[Matt Cassarino]

Right... patience. I read the Gallup poll. Polls are manipulated by how you 
ask the question. After a degree in Political Science I know.

Here, I finally did it:

728 y 217 n 2004 728/ 945 that's 77 percent
167 y 101 n 2005 167/ 268 that's 62 percent
17 y 42 n 2006 17/59 that's 28 percent

They were all sent :
to the current manager or station verified four times each
to the current address verified on Hamcall, QRZ and when possible the FCC
they were all sent using number 9s in number 10s despite the cost of the 
envelope
they were all sent with an SASE if US and 2 dollars if foreign

This ignores the fact that the only reason you're reading these numbers is I 
resent 200 of them !

That's very different results over the same period and I didn't squawk until 
the last 6 months so no ham had any reason to fool around except if they had 
some predisposition or we have very incompetent postal inspectors. Or 
sending 1000 pieces of mail gets you investigated and your mail seized.

Sorry, that's no utterance of conspiracy. Rather, discrimination. If the 
hams are at fault  they should post "no lids, no kids, no space cadets, no 
30 year olds, and no two by one calls" and go up their tower and be Judged 
like someone else did...
