RIGHT. Among contesters, the rule about dupes is that working them is 
better than rejecting them. It is always best to assume that if someone 
is still calling you, you may not be in his log, for whatever reason.

Yes, there are those who don't use a contest logging program that checks 
for dupes, and hopefully, they will eventually get the message and use 
one. :)
