"VP2MJD-Worked again, 3 day in a row"

Just wonder why you need to work him three days in a row?  You may have
prevented someone else from getting him who really needed him!  I hear this
happening all the time locally here in the Dayton OH area on openings.  One
local station in particular works the same DX over and over and over again
like his life depended on it while other local stations have not worked the
DX and really need it.  Just thought you could shed some light on this for
me.
