I like that....get your coax in a knot....
and I do tune on and come back from time to time.

Yessirreebob. There's nothing like poor operating practices (the
hypocrites) piled on poor operating practices (the no-ID'ing station) to
make it a fun pileup.
Some/many/most of those asking his call may also be those who could and did
work the guy...but, then asked the question over and over and over again
because they don't know his callsign either!
I like the idea of all contests having a simple rule requiring both calls
within a QSO.
Seems to me to be more efficient for all concerned.
