Hi Brian,
That is quite correct. From what I understand DL gets free use of the
bureau and their bureau is 100% machine sorted so there is no need to think
twice about sending a card. That's why a lot of stations simply send their
entire log via the bureau.
My policy is to honor OQRS requests and reply to cards.
