Likewise. I think most of us try to be polite about it.
 That said, I am making a list of those calls that I will be to work next 
year.
 The list will be everyone that bitches about every little niggling thing 
that happens during a contest. It will be a long list I am afraid. But 
since they wasted our time reading their emails, I figure a few seconds 
during a contest can't hurt, right? :-)

My CQ WW policy is to work zones 3, 4 and 5 by Canadian QSOs if  possible.
That leaves one USA contact per band and I do that toward the  end of the
contest and not during EU or JA openings.  I'll call  someone who's not
getting any answers to their CQs.  I listen a bit first  to make sure of that.
   
I do a lot of single band entries, so this brings it down to one QSO per
contest.
   
Following these rules, I work K1LZ every once in a while.

While  nobody likes the 0 pointers, they are a necessary evil.
What isn't  necessary is calling fellow stateside stations during the
maximum rate  hours, i.e., when the band is open to Europe.
