The danger with "spot all s&p QSOs" is that many casual and not-so-casual
operators who don't use sound card DVK don't switch between Run and S&P
properly. Any number of times I've found a frequency, called CQ, worked
some number of people (anywhere from a handful to several dozen) only to
realize that I forgot to change from S&P to Run. If I'd had the switch set
to spot everyone, I'd have spotted all my callers on my frequency.

Fortunately, N1MM Logger, and maybe other programs, no longer allows that to happen. N1MM does not allow consecutive spots of different call signs on the same frequency.
