For cards received from the Bureau, I answer the ones that specifically 
request a QSL.  And I quit answering these after noticing it is a second or 
third time.

I have a plea for the people who send a card for ever contact, don't have 
your PC automatically print PSE QSL - please confine requests to cards 
really wanted. I have several examples of a card for the first contact and 
then one for the DUPE both requesting a QSL!  -jim   w3cp
