Im always temped to post the calls of the (many) pile up lids on the cluster and have seen people do it only to incite a flame contest.  I also think fat headed lids are so dense it wouldn't change their behavior.  But I really wish the damn DX station would work them to get rid of them THEN ADD "not in log".  Maybe a new Q signal for same.  QLD.  Not in log because of lid behavior.
