Hi, Hamad, 
I understand exactly. You need their card for countyhunting but they
only want your confirmation for DXCC. It is the same as getting an MRC
(mobile reply card) from a countyhunter where you sign the card and
send it back. Doesn't help you a bit if you need THEIR county.
If you get on LOTW, you will miss out on some counties you need.
I see you are not listed on the Special Needs page at
http://www.cquest.com/cgi-bin/flynn/needs.pl. Have you tried that?
When I hear you on the air, I try to spot that you are countyhunting.
You gave me my first 9K and first buro card, I gave you Green County
Wisconsin from my mobile. I'll never forget that QSO.

Is this new way of qsling going to kill the normal qsl card which in
the past considered a part of our great hobby? or in my case; will I
get less cards if i submitted my log to the LOTW? If this is true; this
means lot of other awards that many of us track will be effected
specially the awards which need a qsl card on hand such as JCC,
German DOK and US County....etc. 
For example assuming i worked some one in a US county which I need and
he got my confirmation in the LOTW will he bother answering my bureau
request to enable me to get his county confirmed?
