I see that a few times a year, mostly on weekends. It's annoying. I'm the guy that throttles up and overtakes people long before getting to a choke point (when I can). I know I won't be slowing them down and perhaps (assuming they don't know the correct course through said choke point) they'll assume I know where I'm going and follow me through without stopping to look at their chart I like to be part of the solution, not the problem.
