But sometimes it might be really difficult. Case in point, the YL who was 
sending a number as her name. Several loggers insist that names must be letters 
only, and refused to log numbers. I made a note of the situation, and edited 
the Cabrillo file to use what she sent me. Weird.

I agree with my long-time friend, log what is sent. Sometimes the log programs 
make it very difficult…
