I'd just  as soon not see them. As a mark of good operating procedure, and 
with logging  software, a duplicate contact just seems messy and has no 
place in a submitted  log. Some other contests/parties allow them. That's just 
my opinion  however.
 
==================
 
While nobody should knowingly call a guy to make a duplicate contact, we  
all know that dupes happen for lots of reasons.  Most contesters find that  
it is better to just work and log a dupe, rather than to spend time 
discussing  the previous qso.
 
1.  It is usually a lot faster to just work the guy.
 
2.  You may not be in the other guy's log for what you thought was  your 
previous qso.  If that is the case and you don't make and log the  second qso, 
you won't have any contact with the guy, who may have been a good  
multiplier.
 
 
See you all as W3USA/M in about 20 counties on Saturday!
