I agree with you 1,000,000% and I think/hope that just about everyone else here does to.

I've had that close call more than once. The irony is that the other day when I was either going out to the VA or the LBS that I go to. I encountered a salmon (it was during the day) and called out to him to ride on the right side of the road he responds with "ride on the sidewalk." The problems are/were that where we were there was no sidewalk and he himself was riding (illegally) in the road.
Fortunately for me, I had taken the lane so I didn't have to swerve to avoid him, but if I'd been riding in the right side tire track I would have.
