And then they get your home telephone number and harass the heck out of 
your family wanting their card
when you just got the Cards from the printer and don't have the logs yet 
from the operation
But Hey QSL managers are supposed to just suck it up right?

Can someone explain something to me? Is there an underground market for 
in-USA SASEs? I've dealt with overseas theft of IRCs and green stamps for 
years. It's part of the equation. But lately, I seem to be having a 
problem 
with responses from stateside managers to whom I've sent an SASE. One 
2-lander (it's NOT N2OO, for sure!) stands out in particular. I worked a 
station that he manages (actually operated from, I believe). 3 requests 
since last June have gone unanswered. Email - no reply. WHAT DO THEY DO 
WITH 
THE SASE? Do they use it to mail their checks to the bank? Make colorful 
collages or decoupage the coffee table (that one was the xyls suggestion)? 
OR do they relable them and send them to other managers as THEIR SASEs?!!
Or do I take the high road and assume that they are floating around the 
USPS 
somewhere, in a postal limbo? I know mail gets lost. I've had mail go 
astray 
going across town here in Charlotte. It amazes me, though, that I have 
NEVER 
had a request lost in the mail
going to the likes of W3HNK or N2OO.
The only consolation is that at least there wasn't a 1ドル.05 airmail stamp 
and 
IRCs involved each time.
(geez, i'm starting to sound like the late Andy Rooney!)
Anyway. Enough carping. Good luck to everyone in working the Malpelo and 
Pitcairn operations in the next couple of weeks. And maybe I'll work a C6 
on 
6m this weekend in the contest from whom I CAN get a qsl.
