   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 ..   :-/
