Yuri makes some good points regarding "UN7MMMM" and "JJJ2CJB".  Our AH6XX log 
lost two QSO's with JJ2CJB, and I waited to see what would get stirred up since 
it seemed likely that this would affect a lot of people.  In this case, it 
doesn't affect our standing (and pales in comparison with the two multipliers 
we did legitimately lose).  However, I seem to recall that we've been told by 
the Contest Committee that score reductions are not made by the robot without 
human intervention, and it appears that the system did not operate faultlessly 
in this case.  If hundreds of logs contained the same "error", and a log 
indicates that the submitter busted his own callsign, then it would seem 
reasonable for a human log checker to conclude that JJ2CJB probably didn't send 
JJJ2CJB.  I'm not exactly going to stand on my head until I turn blue, but it 
seems to me that the Contest Committee should revisit this one.
