This is another response to "SS Beefs", but I tried to make the subject line
match the content.
If you think he sent "x", try sending "x?" (x = Q, A, B, ...). If you have no
guess, send "A?" He will realize that you are asking if you have his
precedence right, and will respond appropriately. This technique works with
the some other parts of the exchange. E.g., if you think he sent number 472 ,
then asking "472?" is better than "NR?". If you have it right, then he has to
send only R R, instead of sending the whole number. If you were wrong, he can
pace his sending to help you make a correction.
"A?" is good for the precedence default because: 1) a lot of the time it will
be right; 2) it is most clearly a precedence.
