I consider the effect of repeating gamma ray burst sources on the <V/Vmax> statistic. I find that the treatment of repeating events, if applied consistently, will not affect the effectiveness of <V/Vmax> as a test of burst homogeneity. The calculation of <V/Vmax> for apparent repeating and nonrepeating source populations will be biased by the incorrect classification of faint bursts. The current practice of calculating <V/Vmax> using all bursts is valid and consistent.
