Don't believe anyone was grousing about how folks work DX.
Agree with your comments below.

Just addressing the original poster who sed:
"I'd like my DXing without spoonfeeding, thank you."

If that be true -- why does he use the packet cluster to find his DX ??
A form of spoon feeding sez I
Wot say ye ??

DXers have always helped other DXers -- a "one-ringer" in the middle of
the
night, stations announcing the the QSX over a 2M repeater, cluster
spots,
etc. Some DXers prefer to do it alone; others are happy to have help.

Live and let live. Mind your own business. Stop whining about what
others
do
and work some DX....by whatever means you deem appropriate.

Yes!
There are far to many hair shirts on the internet, I'm afraid.
