This is an easy one (for me). 99.5% of the time, I submit whatever is in the
log at the very end of the contest.
I only really make 2 small exceptions to this rule. If I am "away"
somewhere or going for a record or top ten spot, I usually put in a really
big effort (ie:many hours and so will be very tired and just want to sleep
at 0001Z, so can't trust myself to even submit a simple log correctly (I've
been bit by my foggy brain before so I won't) so will do it after my first
coffee the next morning.
The only "log washing" I do is usually when I mangle a call so badly in the
heat of the moment(often SO2R, so no free hands), I'll scribble on a pc of
paper something like "K1ARRRR" and after my first cup of coffee in the
morning I'll go find John's call in my log and take the pirate sounds out of
it and submit the log then.
I don't worry if P5DX logged me correctly or go looking for Q's that
may/maynot be right or discover K3EH is in Florida or wonder if Randy is
really in Ohio using qrz.com
What happened in the contest, happened in the contest.
YMMV and probably will.
CU (all of a sudden!) in the next one.

Hmmm. So, who gave me 5NN IL??
QRZ.com shows K3EH in Florida. K3EH has no scores posted on 3830scores.com.
I think it was that over-persistent 9-land call. If I leave it in my log,
I'll get dinged for a busted callsign. So I change it to X-QSO.
But wait a minute. I'll lose the QSO -- and it's his fault -- but the
9-lander call might still get credit for it, which I believe he does
not deserve. (Some say the log checking software might not credit him.)
I still have time to delete the QSO from my log and to resubmit.
What do you think I should do? I do not promise to accept your advice.
