[Dx-qsl] queries as spots

Fri Aug 17 12:32:14 EDT 2007

I occasionally see cluster spots that are not spots at all. Some can be 
useful, even amusing, such as when there's a flare and everything goes dead.
But increasingly, the non-spot spots are questions about QSLs or are 
notifications that somebody has received a QSL. It seems to be on the 
rise. Shouldn't things like this go into a message to ALL or into a 
forum or mailing list? Surely it doesn't belong in a DX spot. If you 
like to keep the cluster running in the background it invariably causes 
bogus alerts.
Do any of you find this annoying as I do? It's a kind of DX Cluster 
spam, isn't it? What can be done?
