look Guy, I don't think any of us (pro 55+) were talking about the guy
in the 928 doing 50 on a winding mountain road. And as someone said, if
you ARE sunday driving on a scenic road and there are 1+ cars behind
you, why NOT pull over for a second and let them by? It'll make everyone
involved less uptight. There is no place for head games while driving.
I think I can safely say that the majority of us drivers who resort to
getting close to the {G,g}uy in front of them as a hint to please pull
over to the right have at that point gone through the normal hints -
(getting moderately close, quick flick of the headlights...) only to be
ignored or somehow not seen.

	The original {point,flame} remains: 
		keep an eye on your rear-view mirror. If you are impeding
		someone wanting to get by and it is not unreasonable to
		pull right, *please* do!					^
