This sounds familiar.  There has always been a conflict between DXing and rag 
chewwing.  The elimination of macros sounds a bit like outlawing Q and number 
codes in CW.  But who wants to send 'best wishes' when 73 will do.  We really 
need a gewntleman's agreement to separate dx and cvommunications channels, not 
to mention nets.
