Frankly we have no control over what people send. Maybe they sent VA
twice and you only received one of them. Asking for a repeat would be
no worse than the folks who respond with your call twice, their call
twice and the exchange three times.
Here is how I look at it. Please call me I need every contact I can
get. I pay little attention to the format of their response, as I have
no control over it.
Also it is not unusual for folks to shorten their exchange later in the
contest when they have worked hundreds or thousands of stations and they
figure most folks have their info from other bands.

Some RTTY operators insist on sending their exchange just once; for example, they send
" David VA " once.Now if I had static crashes, QRM, QSB, etc, I may have missed
their info and would have to ask for a repeat. If they had sent it twice then more than
likely I would have copied enough of it that a repeat is unnecessary. I would ask all to
send their info twice, so repeats are less likely. Doesn't that make sense? If not, tell
me why not. That's my 2 cents worth.
