If I got 50 cards a week, or maybe even half that, and they were all
post cards, I might get annoyed ...  But I'd also make sure that my
qrz.com entry (and other places) said "SASE ONLY".

If you want to talk about tradition, go and look at all those pre-WW2
cards and see how many were sent as postcards.  There's a reason
"standard" QSL cards are postcard-sized!  I sure appreciate SASEs, but
I sure don't expect them.

I return QSLs however I get them.  Apparently, though, I'm one of the
few because of the QSLs *I"ve* sent as cards, I don't think any have
been returned at least in the past 2 years.
