It was apparent to me that several stations were probably running 
older software, when I was told "QSOB4" (God, I hate to be told 
that!  OK, I make mistakes, but so do YOU GUYS.  I mean, it could 
happen!)  when we had worked on a different band (thereby getting the 
mult) but not on the current band.  I missed a few Q's that way, but 
I'll bet the "I don't log dupes or zero-pointers" dudes missed a lot 
of potential points!
