Charlie, I hate to be hardnosed on this, but then we should not complain when we get nasty feedback from stations. Maybe we should just DX, forget about QSLs, station tours, and anything connected with a relationship between the DXer and the station. You know as much as I like e mail. The great things it has brought us, it sure has a negative side to it too. As one CE told me, one negative comment, gets out to dozens of engineers. Does the good outweigh the bad in this case? We have wonderful people out there like Les Rayburn and others that break their necks trying to get DX tests that we all enjoy. Do we want to do something that negatively affects them? I think not. We have a tendacy to speak our minds in e mail often to the point where we upset the apple cart and do more damage. Does complaining about a certain station change things regarding that station? No, of course not. If anything the word gets back to that station and they get angry with the DX community. They may not want to have anything to do with us any longer. Is venting really worth it? I don't think it is.
