Well said also, Sunfish
One Q: can you elaborate on this i.e. who is attempting to prevent you from communicating or refusing information:

What I do not like is the idea of being prevented from communicating with anyone or being refused information that might be critical to my safety just because I am driving a VFR bug smasher.
i think the idea was that vfr does not monitor area, therefore vfr receives no information on possible vfr/vfr collisions and won't even know where to look for fir traffic. ATC doesn't have to provide vfr traffic advisories, but they do on occasion now, which has potentially saved my life once. if vfr isn't expected to monitor Area frequency that possibility won't exist unless we introduce special zones in G when we are expected to monitor area. - more complexity. leave what we now have alone.
