[QSL-Managers] being suspicious again

I've mentioned a few occasions when I have been suspicious about
claimed QSOs made by the same person in two different countries
a minute or two apart.

I had cards today for 9V1YC - from ON4RU and 4L1MA (whose QSL
manager is ON4RU) for QSOs 1 minute apart.  I suppose I should
go with the "innocent until proven guilty" approach, but on the
other occasions, when I have e-mailed the sender, I had no reply.
I did e-mail ON4RU and ask if these are both genuine QSOs.

I checked all my 9V1YC and HC8N logs, and there is no similar
occurrence for these two stations, so perhaps I am being too
suspicious.  In these days of instant e-mail, it's quite
possible that one guy e-mailed the other to let him know that
9V1YC was on 17m, and they both worked him around the same time.

Well, if that's so, I'm sure I will have an offended note back.
I'll let you know!
