Glenn,

1) He may have listened to you for the past 5 minutes, eeking out your 
call sign letter by letter?

2) He would call you because he wants to make a contact?

3) If a station calls me at 20 wpm I don't assume he can copy my 
exchange at high speed. If he could, why would he bother to call you at 
20 wpm in the first place?

I guess it depends on which "end of the pipe" you look at the situation!
