Please don't get me wrong, Linze, I think that in an ideal world people would not only toprope off their own gear (draws) but also abseil when cleaning where possible. Whilst I never top rope off anchors, I am guilty of lowering off to clean routes except where it damages my rope. Then again I am a pretty selfish guy.

Perhaps your clash with the Sherrif is more a reflection on confrontational personal interaction. I remember having a good chat one day at Shipley with the person concerned about micro-rubbish left by climbers (which didn't happen to be me that day) and got the distinct impression that he only means well.
