EVer notice it is more prevalent these days to send a QSL with a SASE and not ever get a card back?
I may have to just go to LOTW or EQSL.
I do not have enough faith to be an atheist.

Agreed. I received a card last week that came with an SASE. I sent him a card and his SASE back to him. My thought is, if you are going to play - pay your fair share. If you don't want to send out QSL cards (with your own postage), tell them you don't QSL. The cost of the confirmed contact should not rest on one person. If there is a reason you cannot QSL via USPS, then eQSL.

QSL Deadbeats...
Cute.
Please show me where it is required that anyone return a QSL card.
If you collect them, fine. Just don't expect everyone to enable your obsession.
Is that the only reason you get on the air: To collect a card?

No, not for me at least...
Actually, I am the manager for a club, and if you send an SASE, you will get a return. Maybe not immediately, but I will do it. I use the same policy for cards sent to me.
No SASE, and the club cards will go out, but it will take longer. Same thing for my cards.
No SASE, no envelope, will probably result in no card.
Take my word for it, I enjoy a QSL as much as the next guy but I don't need them, and there are many folks like me.
So... Moderation in all things, even QSL'ing. Admittedly, sending out an SASE with no immediate return is annoying, but thats all it is really; an annoyance.
Treat it like that and your blood pressure will go down.

I am confused? Which is it?

No.
If you keep track of the cards you haven't gotten (yet), you'll go mad.
Mad, I say. Mad. (sound effects here, please).

Once upon a time a QSL the final courtesy of the QSO.
Sadly, we have lost that sense of courtesy these days.
With the postage rates being what they are now, it's expensive to 100% QSL. But the least we can do is return a card when someone sends an S.A.S.E.

Here we go again. If you are sending a card just so you will get one in return, you are sending it for the wrong reason. My SASE or IRC says only that if you were going to send a card anyway, I'm happy to pay return postage. 73

Both... or neither.
Your choice...
What I meant was:
No SASE... Probably get a card returned eventually.
No Envelope, as in you mailed the card to me using the postcard rate which means that the card is probably folded, spindled and mutilated, I usually don't bother to return to those cards.
Because if you did not care enough or are too cheap to ensure that your precious QSL got to me in good shape... I don't care either.
