If I get duped by someone who I clearly recognize as one of my fellow 
"corntesters" I usually take extra effort to tell them that I have them in 
my log at XX:XX to give them the opportunity to fix their previous mistake 
(or maybe fix mine myself).  If it's someone I don't recognize, I figure 
they're just messing around and work them again, hoping they manage to write 
it down the second (or third) time.

Perhaps this is bad of me, and hopefully this doesn't inadvertently put 
anyone in the "assisted" category.....
