Here's another "take" on the matter, insofar as DX QSLs are
concerned.
In December 2002, the W0 bureau informed me that I had cards
there but had run out of "envelope credits." I promptly
sent the requested amount. Six months later -- no cards. I
e-mailed the W0 bureau manager. He responded that the "0C"
sorter was having personal problems, but did not indicate
when this situation would be resolved. Here it is, early
August (another two months), and still no cards.
Sometimes things are not what they seem!

Since I don't have any 160m antenna, I once started CT up
and filled a
test file with the callsigns of those NO-QSLer's, all on the
160m
band, then I use that file during contests and when the
contest is
over I delete all the 160m QSOs before sending my log in.
When I go tuning the bands and hear a call which results
already
worked on the 160m band I skip it and go work the next one.
This way I don't have to remember all those callsigns, and
that's a
good thing because the list of the NO-QSLer's is getting
bigger by
the day.
I usually do this when I'm casual contesting at home...when
I'm guest
operating at some multi station I work anyone.
