[RTTY] Dupes how to handle

[Gary AL9A]

I had one fellow work me and give me his number 2.  Within fifteen minutes 
he was back and called multiple times.  Despite my telling him he was a DUPE 
he persisted in calling over and over.  Out of frustration I worked him 
again.  He gave me his number 4!  What can I say?

73,
Gary AL9A
