I found only those two stations splattering. And there were the usual
number of ego-driven lids who finished a QSO with "QRZ" instead of
their call. I love K6XX's advice at the Contesting workshops that NCCC
organizes at Visalia -- "QRZ is not your call," making the point that
your call is ADVERTISING, QRZ is not.
I am a great fan of the Pregnant Pause, particularly if you have
multiple callers. Simply by pausing (literally a second) between
"thanks" and your callsign, you can usefully pick up your rate. It's not
that you don't send your call - I'd say at least every 3 QSOs - but that
you just wait a sec to see if anyone jumps in.
