I'm sorry to hear that you won't use LOTW -- whatever your objections 
(and this one is VERY picky) -- LOTW saves everyone who needs a DX QSL 
from you an average of $3.50 per card, a dollar figure that is rising 
rapidly with increasing postal rates around the world. And LOTW saves 
everyone who uses it a LOT of TIME.

I have a pretty rigid policy -- I will not respond with a paper card 
from a station who does not put his log on LOTW, simply because I view 
him as selfish. And when I am casually contesting (and ALL DX contests 
are casual to someone who operates from W6), I am far less likely to 
work a station who doesn't use LOTW.
