I don't know why you think I have multiple dogs, or that I was impeding traffic. There was plenty of room to pass on the left, and if I know that there are folks coming up behind me, then I make even more. And in interest of 100% honesty, I try to maximize the room that others have to pass because I'm more concerned about the health and safety of my 15 y/o dog than I am with others.
Also, Dude, while I understand your anecdote (and agree with you), that has nothing to do with my original post/complaint that and I'll say it one last time,
WHEN PASSING SOMEONE ON A MULTI-USE PATH, LET THEM KNOW THAT YOU ARE COMING UP BEHIND THEM SO THAT EVERYONE HAS ALL THE INFORMATION NEEDED TO MAKE SAFE DECISIONS ON WHAT TO DO TO MAXIMIZE SAFETY FOR ALL PARTIES!
I will now ask Moderators to close this thread as it is getting off topic and I believe my point has been made as best as I can.
Thank you
as always
peace and love
