I didn't strike the QSO with the guy who spotted me in the wrong state
in the 10-Meter Contest...
In both cases (mine and W0MU's) the other guy didn't give you any reason
to believe he didn't get your QTH. (indeed, if he's being honest about
a smudge being the reason for the fill request, *everyone involved*
believed the QSO was complete at the time it was made.) I don't see any
ethical problem keeping the QSO in your log.
As for responding to the question... if I believed the other guy was a
non-contester who didn't plan to send in a log, (didn't show up in the
online results on arrl.org) I'd probably consider replying. Actually,
if he *was* a contester, I'd probably reply anyway - but only after the
log submission deadline.
