Yes and no. Let's say you're running with no cluster, you're in W6, with 
the path to EU over the pole and lots of auroral flutter. That's the way 
it is for at least half of the time on 20M. Under these conditions, 
you're trying to copy a guy running 35 WPM (or even 45). If I call them 
at 30, they can't copy me, so I slow down to 26. But they don't slow 
down for me. Don't these guys understand that when I'm fluttered to them 
that they are also fluttered to me? These guys SHOULD be penalized when 
the other station doesn't get their call right or blows the exchange.
