[WriteLog] (MORE) Turning off ALL dupe checking in WL

Locust,
   Slow down and contemplate for minute... what part of Writelog's 
current behavior is getting in your way?  Are red letters all that 
scary? Nothing about Writelog as it is right now keeps you from working 
and logging dupes all you want.  You can simply not use the conditional 
"QSO B4" macro switchy-thingy (%B I think?)  You can ignore the red 
letters in the QSO entry window.  You can safely ignore the big red 'D' 
by the sequence number in the log.

   Which one of those things, exactly, is slowing your run rate?

73, Dave N6NZ

In this situation, at least you won't seem as much a LID for calling someone you've already worked on that band, but if your philosophy is to work any dupes who call you on the RUN Radio, bada bing, bada boom.  What we are talking about here is f-l-e-x-i-b-i-l-i-t-y for different operator styles.
