[RTTY] BARTG exch, and 599 (or not)

[Fabi va2up]

Hello everyone,
in fact in my first maybe 2 or 3 S&P q's during Bartg I had omitted the 599 myself being too busy setting up the new features in N1MM. Quickly realised this and corrected. I did get some missing parts of the exchange from a few stations later in the contest. Took the time to ask for the missing numbers, worked in some cases and not in others, the answer in this case was : 'sri nil nil'  and restart the cq routine . Sure enough a few minutes later the station came back this time with a full exchange. He must have taken the time to correct the mistake in the macro. 
I think we all make mistakes, I also think that it is up to each and everyone to point this out to the offending station so that he can have a 'trouble free' contest'. I favor the help them instead of kill them approach...but then again missing a few seconds in the contest to do this maybe too important for some.  For the offenders too stubbern to comply and showing the 'I know better attitude' I would simply not log them and go on, nothing to it and no big deal either...
It was nice contacting you all last weekend,
