LIsters, etiquette question follows:

I worked another station on SSB during the IARU contest, the other op got 
my callsign correct, but apparently mis-heard my ITU zone.

I said "five nine - zero eight", but the other op responded by saying "QSL 
on your zone seven, QRZ de.....".  I then replied "negative,  zone 8" but 
the other op had already sent "qrz" and begun working another station. 
Propagation wasn't great and the other op didn't seem to hear my following 
calls to fix the busted zone.

How concerned should I be?  Should I try to re-contact the other op later 
with a dupe hf contact during the contest to alert him to the busted zone? 
 I'm trying to be very conscientious but many of the other contesters 
don't seem as obsessed with accuracy..........
