        Well, I don't know about it, but about Writelog, I have two issues:

        -Many people does not use a carriage return after each QTC, and WL fills
the full QTC field with anything after the QTC..
        -From time to time, I see the check call *not* telling I already "QTCed"
somebody...

        As I did with Ron... I'd rather sending him QTCs, because of I supossed
his RX conditions were better than mine... HI, HI (sorry, Ron!).
