Winstun,
It is informed comment like that that has clowns like RHS and the other SMITH formulating airspace rules like the NAS.
What would you prefer, un-notified see and avoid - which is essentially what the smiths would have us have, or a system where aeroplanes doing 4-7 nm per minute have at least a fighting chance of not running into you!
Telling IFR types to chit chat less is hardly constructive.
You wouldn't be a former biscuit maker by any chance would you?
