My anti-flame suit is on. So don't waste bandwidth. You won't be in the log.
Not a flame, but consider this: Sometimes a Q is good, you've clearly
copied your call coming back and report, etc...and the DX station,
through touch-typing on his laptop and paying attention to something
else, logs a different call or enters nonsensical characters by
accident - and doesn't pick up the error.
Or maybe something even more basic - the log from that computer gets
damaged somehow between when the Q was made and your card is
presented to them for verification.
We can live without online logs, but if they're available, that's a
huge plus for us AND a huge plus for them (in terms of less dupes),
AND a huge plus for the low power/low wire stations who have a bunch
of extra chances to make *their* Q's since less big guys will be
calling and duping.
