Why remove the USA stations? This means that if those USA stations  
submit logs, the contest judges will find a NIL in their logs where  
they worked you. Furthermore, that contact might be a valid  
multiplier for that USA station, too, which they will lose.

Leaving the USA stations in certainly doesn't hurt your score at all.  
They are all zero points, and there's no penalty for zero pointers.  
Removing them certainly hurts other's scores, though.

I can't see any benefit to removing ANY stations from your log. If  
you work them, log them. Let the contest judges sort out the wheat  
and the chaff.
