[Dx4win] External database versus qrz.com on the internet.

[Joe - WDØM]

Not to worry - I'm on several logging reflectors - you see, it's the great 
thing about hanging around various people who have open minds - and being 
able to cross-pollinate ideas on all those reflectors.  That way, perhaps 
authors will pick up ideas to improve their products, keep the features 
rich, and give their customers a better product so that it will flourish 
and prosper, rather than stagnate.  I enjoy using them all, and have no 
blind faith toward any.  Will I see you on other reflectors too?

Happy thanksgiving my friend,
