Well, I argue with them and won't let go till they work me or absolutely
refuse to. Usually they work me "again" to get rid of me. I'm a small
signal station and S&P is my bread & butter and I need every QSO I can
scrounge
up. My rate is never so great that I can't take a bit of time to duke it
out. In any case, they're wasting more of their own precious time than
mine.
A surprising number of contesters truly don't know about the modern
approach to dupes, which is leave 'em in - the computers will catch them and
there's no penalty as compared to the old paper logging days when dupe
checking
was an ordeal. These folks aren't idiots, they're just behind the times
and need their consciousness raised.

Whenever I hear "QSO B4," I just think "what an idiot" and move on.
