Sorry. We have physical evidence that is not true. Tree and I have  
discussed at least one occurrence of this from Phone SS a few years  
back where 20 ops got 'dinged' when the station they contacted  
corrected their exchange.  Either 20 is below the threshold, or the  
software isn't as capable as one would like.

So, yes I would expect that the first group of QSOs that Mal made  
would all receive deductions for bad received exchanges.
