VFR-on-top:
[Description snipped]

I know what VFR-on-top is. It's nice to see you know too. But so what? We
aren't talking about "VFR-on-top" (well, we weren't until YOU brought it
up).

A pilot flying VFR is required to observe "see and avoid". One pilot
observing "see and avoid" and taking appropriate evasive action can avoid
a
collision.

One day, when you've got a few more hours, you'll realize that you had
better not trust the other guy to do your "see and avoid" for you.

If a VFR pilot is climbing/descending, it is his responsibility to avoid
pilots above him or below him.

The IFR pilot cruising at 6000' is ALSO responsible for avoiding pilots
climbing or descending through his altitude.

A pilot flying IFR under VMC who is not observing "see and avoid" is not a
very smart pilot.

I agree. But if you feel that way, what is the point to all of your other
"contribution" to this thread?

For a professional writer, you sure seem to be having a big problem getting
your point across (whatever it happens to be).
