Snap and Kray, do you think you could conduct your vendettas in private.
On a more serious note, I think that those of us used to gliders, microlights and light helicopters should bear in mind that, workload aside, our ability to lookout is much better than anybody's possibly could be in your average light aircraft - we have less to worry about and less obstructions to a true 360° lookout. It doesn't excuse poor lookout in a light aircraft, but they do have the odds more against them than we do.
Gliders and microlights are probably the hardest thing to see in the air, especially end-on. So a small "landing light" in nose and tail is probably the most useful low-power aid to visibility. A tad harder to fit a light in the tail of a microlight (that whirly thing up the back) but not impossible, and a trivial problem for a glider.
