I'm in the other camp. I don't want to hear "on your left!" shouted when modern carbon guy is passing me safely with no one else around. I don't want to hear his voice, his bad music out of the headphones whipping around his neck, nor his plastic, clackity-clackity-clack sounding cassette. I already have to suffer through the usual, "hey, you're ready for L'Eroica."
But if I knew it were you, I would definitely give it a hearty "good morning!" ... especially if it were closer to 4:00pm.
