To be a bit positive, he was my first FR on a number of bands and I did get QSL cards from him for all contacts. I recall all of the negativity, and I think I sent at least twice for some of them. However, I do have FR5DX QSLs. If I recall correctly, he was a police officer or in the militia . . . something to do with law and a uniform, anyhow.

I also heard that one of the reasons he is now QRT is because of discussions like this. Deserved or not, I heard he became disgusted with Ham radio because he was constantly being insulted left and right on the Internet for not QSLing. Maybe the mail to/from Reunion, at the time, was rife with theft. Maybe he was getting it all and only answering 1 out of 10. We will never know.
