This thread is about an important concept (playing by the rules) but
has twisted off into the realm of paranoia, with names and dates. Just
because someone didn't explain in the comments that they were cleared
above 17,999 feet, doesn't mean that they weren't cleared. Innocent
until proven guilty or something like that.

If I was to pass your car and trailer on the way to the airport, and
you were driving at the speed limit, would you:

A. Report me to the FAA.
B. Take my drivers license.
C. Remove my flight claim from the OLC.
D. Tell my mum.

From some posts in this thread, I'd assume all of the above. I'll never
get steak and kidney pie again.

How about reporting me to the IRS if you believe I'm not paying enough
tax?

It's far from a good idea to intentionally break the rules, but it's
a much worse idea for private individuals to play traffic cop.

A phrase that got me in trouble before...
Remember when the OLC was FUN?
