I think the first sentence answers the question asked in the second sentence 
better than I can.

While I haven't tried to put a specific feature in to deal with the 10 minute
rule, I did try doing off time once or twice.  I gave up and took it out.

Whenever I have thought about putting something like this in, I end up drowning
in all of the special cases that come up.  I have done this enough times, that
I try to refrain from thinking about them.

This is also an interesting case - since I am also the one doing the log checking
with the software.  Special cases like this are impossible to deal with.  I can't
"not count these two QSOs in one log, but make sure they don't count as NILs in 
the other logs" without a lot of manual work - and prone to errors. 

There are no easy answers.  I can look into adding some kind of feature to make
management of the 10 minute rule easier - but I can't guarantee that the same
thing won't happen again.  

You have probably put yourself at a disadvantage by trying to do the right 
thing.
