CW pile-up - helpful tip


On 3G0ZC I was operating 99% on CW running large pile-ups , mainly from EU. Every CW operator has own style how to manage callers and it can be discovered if you listen carefully. It will give you more chances to break pile-up even if you are not big-gun. 
What helps , what can speed-up rate and make CW operator much easier ?
Your report!
More precisely the way you are sending RST back:
50% callers are repeating their call-sign even when DX sent it right!
It makes job more difficult because DX is thinking that he didn`t copy call correctly ....
No problem to repeat call-sign when you are sure it has mistake , do not send 599 then , just your call to clarified. DX will notice that , for sure will try.
The worst example is here:

DX: IT9RYH 5NN
IT9RYH: CFM IT9TYH 5NN 5NN 73 DE IT9TYH ....

So many times I was dealing with similar examples .....
This is bizarre reply :)
