Oh, f*ck off, Phil, I don't insist on that.  I merely state that if one is
driving at a reasonable speed on a one-lane road one should not feel obligated
to pull over to the shoulder, spewing gravel onto your undercarriage, just for
somebody else's convenience.  I sincerely doubt California law requires you
to pull over if five people are following you at 10MPH above the speed limit.

I'm getting tired of this argument, but even more tired of the self-righteous
*ssh*l*s who like attacking me for a position I don't hold.  I'm not insisting
on my right to slow people down, I'm not insisting that people should all drive
the speed limit, I'm just insisting that the convenience of somebody who wants
to speed doesn't take precedence over the convenience of somebody who doesn't.
(Note that I say nowhere whether I fall into the first or second category.)

	Sorry, Phil, but your reply was the straw that broke the camel's back,
