Have you actually flown in an A/C with ADS-B?

No, I personally haven't. Don't see the need.
Right now I'm watching the race at Benalla, VIC.
There are 10 gliders within 1000' of altitude in one thermal near the start line for Open Class.
Mike, please enlighten us as to where the pilots of the 10 ADS-B equipped gliders would be considering ADS-B in this situation, on the scale of fantastic (10) to annoying (0).

Jim, please enlighten me why an elite (limited) group of world's best glider pilots in a specific situtation such as World Championships would be indicative and should set an example for all other pilots all over the world, enjoying the peaceful XC? Isn't a competition a special case? Apply it to other sport disciplines: yachting, skiing, car racing - density and speeds etc. Do racing cars set rules for a normal street traffic?
