Indeed -- when LotW was first open for business, I named and exported my 
logs by years to keep the file size manageable, and now have over 75,000 
QSOs and over 4,000 QSLs (matches) in LotW.  The signing routine in TQSL is 
fairly slow, so doing the whole log at once would be a pain!  Also agreed 
re the format of the downloaded report -- I import them directly into a new 
log file in DX4WIN to enable me to keep separate stats on my LotW DXCC 
(currently 113 countries confirmed).
