I think you and I are using the same play book. Th details of how we manage specific conditions and circumstances are less important, than the fact that we make a serious effort to balance our right of way and personal safety, with the needs and wants of other road users.
Possibly one reason I'm willing to ride in closer quarters, is that I'm in New York, where it's a game of inches, and you're in Montana and everyone is used to more room.
I'm not into having hard set rules, or telling others how to ride. I take each situation as it comes, and apply Plans A-E based on what's available and workable at the time.
