I only log #5.? If I used an intermediary station, I add that to the notes so I know what path I used to get the log entry.

Good Evening Net105'rs!
(Before I ask this question I want to clarify I am in the US so logging is not required by the FCC - just in case this is see in other countries.)
In your opinion what do you consider a contact that can be logged in packet modes?
examples: 1) A new user logs into a packet BBS via RF 2) A packet user leaves you a message on your BBS and you reply 3) You successfully connect to another packet station and leave a message 4) You read a message someone left for you on another station and reply to it 5) You have a keyboard to keyboard chat with another operator via HF 6) You hear another stations beacon
In my opinion: 2-5 should be a logged contact 6 - nah, I can't see that as logged 1 - I sort of think this is a valid contact, they did connect via RF and used the BBS to setup an account.
