I hope some of these guys finally get the message: not qsling does not
pay off. I've been using a similar tactics in my casual contesting, and I
am sure I am not the only one. Yankee Clipper guys and the ON4UN contest
team (to name just a few) will get my qso points every time because they
bother to respond to cards. On the other hand, due to poor qsling
practices, I even refuse to work certain countries anymore. Only when
their point totals start dropping will these people get the message. It
is time everybody took a stand: refuse to work qso-machines that don't
qsl.
