[CQ-Contest] Logging question

[KU7Y]

When we lived in ID several of us would get together each week or so and
talk about DX.

One time someone mentioned they got a DX QSL that was blank.... no QSO data
filled in.  There was a note to please fill in a good date/time/band/mode
info and send him a card in return!  Turns out that we all got one from
him!!!

Needless to say that they all went into the trash can!

OK, back in my hole,
