I understand the person was trying to be helpful but.....

The FAA regulations and Advisory Circulars only mention broadcasting
position on CTAF. *There is no mention of communicating air-to-air. *

I know CTAF is being used for almost everything but that for which it
is intended. *But that doesn't make it okay. *

Personally, I limit my CTAF transmissions to announcing my position,
and nothing else.

I'd agree. Particularly annoying are these clods running around with
handheld radios - using them
to keep track of each other, coordinate lunch, etc - nothing
whatsoever to do with the safety of
flight. Sometimes it's better to to turn the radio off than listen to
the drivel.
