yes I know FF is use less at 1000 ft AGL, but he was at 16000 ft and did not

I never mentioned 1000 ft agl.
I only suggested he could use it to get lower and not have as much worry about
hitting someone as much, lower being anything under 16000

No, when the OP said "I thought that there was a frequency that pilots use to
announce their positions. Since I did not have it, I elected to stay high
rather than risk a mid-air.", you replied: "the best and easiest thing to do
when VFR is to call center and get flight following".

I pointed out that FF does nothing to alieviate the OP's original concern, and
would not have helped him avoid low flying tour planes...
