It obviously did.... Fraser G4BJM may well comment if he sees this

A practice many of you know I (as a QRP operator) strongly disdain. 
If I work one of these stations the /QRP is quietly ignored and never 
entered in my log or any subsequent QSL card.

And then we have these silly special prefixes - DL40RRDXA, SC300VL, 
YU07HST, 9A950DM -yuk, they all seem to come out of the woodwork in 
WPX...
