~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There are two reasons for dupes:

1. Busted call from the previous QSO.
2. Careless logging (or no logging at all).

If the guy duping me is someone I know to be experienced, I work him with 
no questions asked, assuming a busted call.
If it's someone who I suspect is just being careless with the log, I send 
the B4 message to help wake him up. Almost always they disappear without 
asking for a re-work.

A careless operator will just get more careless if he never gets a B4 
message. If he does get one, he will know we are paying attention, even if 
he is not.
