Nobody *should*, Joe, but misteaks happen. I posted that in response to
an off-reflector message during CQWWSSB saying that a number of such
spots were being made. If you are using stored messages in any mode,
even so much as a stored CQ, then the normal operating sequence will
ensure that you switch to Run mode and the program will not spot Run QSOs.
As a further safeguard, the Spot All S&P QSOs configuration is not
"sticky" - you have to manually select it each time you start MM. My
guess is that the folks who did this did not understand the program very
well - hence my message.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Avoiding spotting other stations on your run frequency
We're seeing a number of spots on the cluster network that appear to be
spots of stations people work while running. Obviously this is
undesirable. I've just been reminded that there is one scenario in
which this can happen, more or less automatically, with N1MM Logger,
particularly when not using stored messages If you a) don't hit F1 when
starting to run and b) Have Spot All S&P QSOs selected on the Config
menu, then the program will remain in S&P mode, and as you log each
station its callsign will be spotted.
So please, N1MM users, even if you have no F1 message stored (usually
where CQ or QRL? would be) Hit F1 before you call your first CQ of a new
run. Better yet, store a CQ message (and maybe some others too.
