> One thing I'd add is require the person that calls someone dead-beat to
'back it up' with facts. I've been blasted a few times, and I think if you
got the full details of how the situation is created, you can make your own
decision if the person is a 'dead beat' or not. I can tell you one thing, a
little of this goes a LONG way. I'd be quite careful of who you put in the
dead beat column. I can tell you one thing, I'd be tempted to bag QSL
managing.....life is WAY to short to be skewered for a volunteer job!
