Well here's my 2 cents... I work almost 100% QRP. The person who copies my signal might be doing the "real work", but I'm having the "real fun!"
I always smile to myself when a QRO operator compliments me on having a "great signal for QRP." That kind of comment generally comes from someone who hasn't tried QRP and so I try to take the opportunity to do a little proselytizing. When the conditions are a little rough I try to thank the other end for their "great ears." A gracious "thank you" will probably do more that an egotistical brag to encourage participation in QRP. I like the quote from Francis Bacon... "If a man be gracious and courteous to strangers, it shows he is a citizen of the world, and that his heart is no island cut off from other lands, but a continent that joins to them."
