Agreed,
I use a two call rule.
When I find a station to work, if I know his call and not a dupe, great!
if i don't,, I'll call anyway, and if he's a dupe his loss of time, too
bad,, say who you are.
And at any rate be I know who it is or not, I call and only try twice if
I do not get them in two tries. I move on, either the pile is too big or
propagation isn't good enough. and try again later, on the next pass
through the Band.

It seems, sorry to put such a fine point on it, Dave, that those who get
frustrated sitting on a frequency waiting for someone to ID have only
themselves to blame for choosing to just sit there. You might wait just to find
out he's a dupe or not a new mult.
The QSOs you lose waiting are more valuable than this guy anyway. And if he's
got such a pileup, he'll still be there when you tune back.

It's boring to sit on a frequency listening to a string of QSOs being made by
other contesters who got the callsign from a spot or by DX'ers who aren't
really in the contest and couldn't care less how long it takes to snag a rare
one
