Yep, as a young person operating on this forum and yachting community, I often have wondered about AIS. People are crying out loud for the respect of their privacy yet there is a 'phenomenon' that literally shows you the exact whereabouts of yachts and vessels collectively. I too like to have an idea where yachts are but not necessarily down to their exact location.
And it is not simply just down to location it also has to do with divulging information that should not be and I agree with Carl on that. I have come to learn that there is a level of professionalism that must be exhibited and then others will gain respect for that so... respect is paramount. I'm sure that we also like our privacy respected. So we could pass on the same gestures.
