I strongly agree. I set my filter to see spots from W of the Rockies,
including VE, KL7, and KH6, and to see spots from W3LPL. Why? Because I
want to see spots for stations in my skip zone, so I don't get NILs when
someone I think is working me is really working someone else on my
frequency. :) Yes, a good op can usually tell from timing, but not always.

But just for the record, I don't necessarily think that seeing too many
spots is bad for a new ham, it helps to illustrate how propagation works
(and doesn't work). In a sense seeing only workable spots is a pragmatic
thing to do, but it hides the reality that the bands may be hopping
elsewhere in the world.
