Dave, there's room for one other "bright spot" in this
cloudy situation: I know usenet groups are falling out of
use, and a lot of the ones that ARE still active are full
of obscene morons shouting abuse at each other.

So it's not good that you got 41 negative responses about
the incoming bureau service--but it IS good that that many
people are still reading rec.radio.amateur.dx! :-)

Speaking of QSLs, when I started playing on HF again the
other week, I queried my logging database. I've got around
190 worked, and around 180 actually confirmed. Maybe one
of these days I'll actually get around to applying for
DXCC .. :-/
