[Mldxcc] New Country Rules?

[Raymond Parker]

Rich, I'm glad you asked. I don't think the DX committee should recognize any geographical location that does not have a population and a governing body. It's not that I'm sour grapes about the Islands/ phony countries that I have not worked. 
  Let IOTA take over the rock piles and seal dung for IOTA Credit. I have seven Island  countries left to confirm. Therefore, I make the Honor Roll without them. I bet if you  polled the guys cooling off on the BRAVEHEART right now you'd get similar opinions. 
  Well, maybe not! 
   
  Anyone think we would not have enough countries should look a World Stamp Album. 
  There are, and have been countries the ARRL does not, or did not recognize. 
   
  Thanks Rich. I haven't been this worked up since my Lotw expired.
