And you're quite sure that as evening approaches, and more folks come on the 
air, that the essb stations will close up shop in the spirit of cooperation?

Or if you don't think they will, then who will "suggest" to them that they 
become neighborly?

Not really, making a statement that wide and inefficient communications modes 
that may be a nusiance to US hams, and are at odds with the regulations of other 
countries, should be used only above 28 mHz makes a lot of sense...unless one 
has a personal agenda to use them in crowded bands.
