OZBUSDRIVER;
When did I request any "services"? The last "services" I got was from "Flight Service" and came in the form of a cup of coffee. But then that was in 1969 and I was paying Air Nav Charges. But you wouldn't know about them would you?
My posts are about being ignored when I was attempting to interract for the sake of safety with IFR traffic that was being worked by Melbourne Centre. Of the 7.5M sq kms of Australia, a C182 and myself found each other in intersecting circumstances but with 500ft of vertical separation.
Are you suggesting that advising someone of one's position is a "service"?
Are you suggesting acknowledging that is a "service"?
I suppose asking for Area QNH is a service, but I haven't done that for years in case I get a bill. Perhaps I should just not say anything?

Your subtleness is not wasted.
