[Dx-qsl] Rudest response?

[Phil Whitchurch]

Guys, FWIW

I suspect that this is a rubber stamp applied by the Dutch bureau rather 
than the operator.  If you think about it, if the guy is not interested 
in QSLing (and there is no reason why he should be), he's not likely to 
go to the time and trouble of collecting his unwanted cards from the 
bureau, applying a rubber stamp and sending them back to the bureau, is 
he?

73 for now
