I actually understand your argument about being upset with people who block the left lane more than I understand the speeding argument. I can see how you think I'm picking on you so that's poor choice of words on my part.

Of course I won't tell you that I don't get annoyed when there's a granny or some jackarses in front of me, but I guess I meant 'upset' more in terms of getting on CP and starting a ranting thread about it

And why is my "high road" argument BS? I pay attention when I drive, so if my poorly-worded remark about left-laning is no good, then your assumption here is as well. I also think I am a courteous driver. I go out of my way to make sure I am not impeding traffic with my desire to go the speed limit - I get out of the left lane on Deerfoot as quickly as I can and I don't move in to it until I have enough time to get past the guy in front of me without causing much trouble. As well, your assumption that I am happy going "5, 10, or even 20" below the speed limit is incorrect here, I drive at the speed limit, just not over it TOO often.

Is it so hard to believe that I've looked in what I consider a logical way about this, weighing out the pros and cons of speeding, and decided it wasn't worthwhile for me?
Sorry man... Didn't mean to come down so harsh. Last night was....well, lets just say that I think I misread what you wrote.
After work today, I'll read this whole thread. In the meantime, just wanted to apologize for being a dick.
