If you read carefully, I think you will find the objections
are based more on courtesy, and predictabilaty, rather than
legality.

OK, since someone else *may* be an idiot,
you have to act like one, as well?

yes, it is reasonable to expect someone to keep right
while not passing, if you define reasonable as what
most people would expect. Shall we take a poll?

I don't have such a problem with you passing
on the right is someone won't get over, I have a problem
with you sitting in the right lane, at 7 over, like it
is the smartest thing to do. It makes you an obstacle
but since you are not going to figure that out, I see no
reason to keep telling you what is plain to everyone else.
