Say what? Pilot to pilots self-segregation comms on the Class E ATC freq? No!
As pointed out by Gruntle (welcome on board the Hampster Wheel) you'd be mad and/or an idiot to let another aeroplane, denied a clearance by ATC, go through your level without finding out where they are and what they are doing. Classic Class E hogpodge. Clayton's airspace.
PS: Glad you finally agree our Class G+ is a great system.
