Oh heck yes.
Like Noisebeam, I too long for the day when the right witnesses are available.
And like you said, it doesn't happen often, but behind every "instance" are the 100 or so motorists that wanted to do it. Those are the ones that give you the looks and the arms in the air and shoulder shrugging as they pass by... often with a bit of "power display" in their haste to move on.
Yeah, it can be ignored, but man it gets so old.
On the plus side, I can't help but wonder if, as gas reaches $4.00 a gallon, we are not starting to get a bit of "respect" or even "sympathy" from the public... a'la the old gas wars of the '70s, back when I first took up cycling as regular transportation. Of course there will always be the buttheaded JAMs that will feel they own the road, like the gas guzzing Hummer drivers...
