Yes I do.  Not being the CW op that Tree is I miss the
entire callsign more often (I am getting better) and as 
a result I find it more important to maintain the rhythm
so I just enter the the few letters I copied and hit the 
<enter> key.  I think it is even more important to do it 
this way when you are DX because the rhythm is everything
to keeping the pile-up in order and keeping the rate up. 

The same is true for ssb.
