Correct. In fact, when I began SS in 1955, and for a long time after
that, you got one point if the other station acknowledged your
"message", and a second if he acknowledged yours

If you're passing traffic to a station, why would you need to pass it to
that station more than once?
I don't know if that's the real explanation (beyond "that's the way it's
always been") for work-stations-only-once....but it feels plausible, and is
the assumption I've been making.
