Is it sacrilege in the ham-community to issue electronic QSL "cards"?

<div><span style="font-size: x-large; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">Yep. We've had a similar issue previously with QSL cards for the Club. </span></div>

<div><span style="font-size: x-large; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">The preferred vendors were probably 8-10 times the cost. One reason is that QSL cards are a rather strange 3.5 x 5.5 inch card stock size for the preferred vendors, plus AU royalty,
AU-required PMS color matching, yadda yadda yadda. All part of being The Family, I guess. </span></div>

long process and not a cheap one. </span></div>
