Best for folks in the real world to do their best to educate.
LB I have tried this and it doesn’t work. Here is Sunnies reaction to my assertion that it is Private and RAA pilots who are the biggest chatterboxes in the circuit.

Speaking as a PPL, you can go and get (censored).
He did however go on to make some valid points and I respect his post

Giving the running circuit commentary absolves folk who are not practiced with the radio and are totally engrossed with aviating from listening. Instead of listening, they continuously broadcast. In fact, apart from hogging bandwidth this works reasonably well. My guess is it is here to stay and who am I to argue. I have tried and lost. The two RAA schools in my vicinity teach running commentaries from scratch thus making a habit that is all but impossible to change by the time the student gets a certificate.

The battle is lost, circuit commentary is here to stay.
