Dave,

I appreciate your viewpoint and I think there is a lot of truth in what you 
have to say.

As for your suggestion that a scintillating QSO can be generated by my 
sending real, honest-to-God comments to the other station, I think that is 
hoping for too much.  

As I wrote, I don't even have a "brag" macro.  I always type things which are 
custom made for whomever I am working.  Typical exchange:
----------------------
W0YR:  "OK CHARLIE, TNX FOR THE GOOD REPORT.  YOU ARE QUITE STRONG HERE.  I 
AM WONDERING HOW HIGH YOU HAVE UR CAROLINA WINDOM?  HAVE YOU HAD ANY TROUBLE 
WITH THE BALUN IN IT?  I NOTICED YOU ARE JUST SOUTH OF LUBBOCK TX.  I WONDER 
IF YOU KNOW A GUY THERE, W5NJ WHO IS A REAL OLD TIMER.  I THINK HE USED TO BE 
THE PRESIDENT OF A RADIO CLUB THERE.  BTU CHARLIE  AR  KC5XXX DE W0YR K

KC5XXX: OK OM.  TNX FOR ALL INFO.  BEST 73 CUL  W0YR DE KC5XXX 
---------------------
This has been my experience.  Any more suggestions or should I learn how to 
enjoy and interpret these terse, impersonal replies?
