I have to say, I've listened to the morning 40m DX net in particular, and it makes me cringe at what they often call a contact.  Same with nets like OMiss - too much helping in my opinion.

But I'm just doing what feels right to me, I am not judging others.

--- Heads Up Guys. When the DX gets your Call sign Right, NEVER repeat your call sign. Just say QSL, QSL, QSL.

Now to make me feel even worse... I DID already have Philippines on 40, but somehow I missed it.

--- I may try Eleven meters AM later today...

However, How is this worse than the guys who use RHR stations on a Penesia on the coast?
