Yes, I agree. I will work anyone who calls me, whether I'm in a contest or not. Recently, I had someone call me on the came band and mode several times within a week. No problem. I worked him every time. Incidentally, I hadn't been calling CQ. He called me after I worked someone else.

I have seen the same thing both in contesting and in day to day operating.  Given that a 
FT8/FT4 QSO is going to last a minute or less, and logging is electronic, I have never understood 
this reasoning behind setting up the program to not see or avoid stations you have worked 
before?  Is a dupe that big of a deal?  The other station might be running a contest, as 
you point out, or need your country for a DX Marathon point for that year.  I have worked 
stations numerous times on the same band with FT8 and don't see what the big deal is.
