I don't mind them, to be honest. It gives a better clue to 
propagation. If I know x has propagation because he's worked the guy, 
and y doesn't have it, it may be of some use from time to time. What 
I don't like are the useless spots like "Please Beam to Costa Rica!" 
and "why no EU??????????????????" -- those are pointless and serve 
only to make fools of the poster.
