I must agree with John.  On my Contest DXpeditions, I generally do exactly
what John does and work the suspected dupe just in case we got our wires
crossed earlier.  I would hate to have someone miss my mult or Q due to a
possible mistake on my part.  Those little battles, standing on a "WKD B4"
pedistal, do nothing to speed up getting everyone into the log.  Those little
battles can be won by not working the station again but fight enough of these
and you may lose the war...
