I think that this illustrates one of the areas that are difficult to deal 
with in a program that doesn't treat S&P and running differently.  For 
example, TR Log and N1MM both prevent your calling someone in S&P mode who 
would be a dupe.  This has saved me innumerable embarrassments over the 
years.  In most contest, it is perfectly OK, and even good practice to 
rework someone when you are running, he calls you, and he is already in 
your log.  If you are not in his, he gets a good QSO, and you get no 
penalty, so everyone wins.
