To present the alternative argument, I recall on a rather busy day trying to get into goodwood, along with umpteen other aircraft, and having been asked to report base, spending the half the downwind leg, and a good chunk of base listening to some 'warrior' giving his life story punctuated by uhmmm, err, etc, to finally announce he was passing overhead at 3000. Seriously, who cares, get off the d**n frequency.. A severe example, granted, but you get the idea. Perhaps a case for applying judgement and common sense.
