You might want to go stand on a chair, Dave, and read that message again,
because it went over your head the first time.
OF COURSE it's silly!
Next time I'll bracket it with indicators.

That's a rather silly extrapolation. If I'm tuning the band and hear
somebody giving their callsign to someone else I don't need to hear it
again, and if I didn't hear it I can always ask for it. Works fine for
everyone unless the running station abuses the system.

Why would anyone need to know your call. Just slows things down. We
could suspend calls completely in contests, and think of how the scores

"QRZ"
"FYE NYE FOE"
"FYE NYE EIGHT QRZ"
"FYE NYE SIX"
"FYE NYE EIGHT QRZ"
But wait, note the redundancy there..... Everyone says "FYE NYE" so we
can eliminate that delay also.
"QRZ"
"FOE"
"EIGHT QRZ"
"SIX"
"EIGHT QRZ"
And, oh, that "QRZ" is slowing me down. Lets do this.
"EIGHT"
"FOE"
"EIGHT"
"SIX"
...silence.....
"ZED?"
"FIE"
"EIGHT"
"FOE"
"EIGHT"
"FUM"
"Again?"

Thank you for NOT requiring both stations to ID.
When I have dozens (if not more) participants in my pile-up, who know who
I
am, who have been waiting, who are hoping I will hear them next.
vs.
One impatient person who happens on the pile-up noise, may not even hear
me
and wants immediate attention.
Which way am I better serving the contest frenzy? By going as fast as I
can
to get everybody in the log? Or, by slowing down my CW speed, giving my
callsign between each and every QSO and having to wait while the other
station sends my call?
