They can amount to a blacklist which is negative and reflects more negatively on us as DX'ers than it does on anyone else. And with the movement of personnel from station to station -- which has been an issue for decades -- a station can move very quickly from one column to the other. I'd much rather have a QSL from a test signed by a BTC or test arranger than no QSL and no logging because there was no test. And I'd rather have that confirmation be valid in the sense that I know that someone has taken the time to review the material submitted carefully rather than just rubber stamp it, or give it to a secretary to sign. A QSL is a confirmation of reception. If I don't know that someone has checked my details or listened to my recording then whatever piece of paper I get isn't a confirmation at all -- it's quite possibly bogus. What matters is what's behind it -- not who signs it!
