212Man you are of course correct, my point is that even when following a published approach there is still a chance of bumping into someone else who might be there, I was commenting on crabs assertion that this is an unsafe thing to do for the reasons he stated, there are plenty of reasons perhaps that these approaches should not be flown, however the argument about the big sky theory holds no water in my opinion as flying a pubished approach offers you little extra mid air collision protection.
[Edited to say whilst I have left my orignial wording above, I do mean approaches outside of Controlled airspace].
