Mr Smith

Your silence on 98% of the safety concerns raised on this forum is deafening. You choose, instead, to try and defend yourself over a slight on your personality! Read the forums, and if you can't see where to direct your energies, then I give up.
quite often low time VFR pilots – constantly monitoring enroute frequencies where over 98% of the calls are irrelevant
I'm sure that a professional pilot will tell you that when he is in controlled airpspace that most of the calls he hears aren't directly for him, either. Is the solution for him to turn the radio off? I'm sorry if your priveleged life has enamoured you to personal service, but sometimes public services have to be provided- TO THE PUBLIC. The yanks consider their ATS a public service- why aren't you avidly campaigning for that model? Or their charging model? The selective nature of your crusade makes me just a little cynical of your motives.
