The problem with this is, if everyone else is as misguided, then they are
transmitting with ten watts too. So their signals are 10 to 20+ dB weaker than
with higher power, hence there are fewer stations to work, ie. less DX.
Furthermore, with more power, faster modes of communicating are possible. More
stations can make QSOs in a given time, which can actually *lower* the total QRM
level.
Of course, all of this is from a DXer's perspective. If watching paint dry is
your thing then stick with QRP.

I encourage the Geralds of the world to continue with their ten watts.
Makes DXing easier for the rest of us. :-)
