I don't upload my entire log because I'm on a "fishing expedition". I
upload my log for the benefit of others who may need the confirmation
and either can't or won't send a paper QSL.

Paper QSLs will *always* have a special place compared to electronic
confirmations, and that place should be recognized.

As Mel pointed out, once you upload your entire log, the value of the
"M" flag becomes meaningless.
