I think you took my response too literally. (understandable, I wrote it
a bit too literally<grin>)
In general, should an operator *ever* be dinged for errors the *other
guy* makes in copying his exchange?
It is certainly possible to develop situations where he should. It's
also possible to develop situations where he shouldn't. And nearly
impossible to tell the difference, unless you're actually monitoring the
QSO as it occurs.
