Correct.  I think people's desire to have high QSO rates overshadows the 
desire to have accurate QSOs.  If I have to listen for a guys call 4 or 5 
times or more, I will.  To me, it is worth it.  If I don't have a 
positive sense that I got the call OR exchange correct, it doesn't go in 
the log.  PERIOD.
