I disagree Larry. Mailed has a special meaning. We don't send paper QSLs for all our QSOs, but we do upload them all. Uploading is a step on the way to confirmed, but it's NOT as significant a step as mailing a QSL card and expecting one in return. I think the version 7 way was more

You seem to be missing the point Larry. In the case of an electronic gamble as you put it... the M conveys nothing as ALL contacts are uploaded fairly frequently. If you also frequently QSL 100% that would also be the case for postcard gambles. But, in fact, even those who do QSL 100% often
