Well, looks like there's one guy who needs to make a laundry run

Didn't look close to me. I've gotten closer to a twin even with flight following and two traffic avoidance systems.
 
Agreed. I've had a 172/182 cross directly in front of me like that twice now. Once I had to take evasive action. I don't know what the guy was doing, we were at around 4500 and he had full flaps in, passed right across my nose, guessing he never even had a clue I was there.

Agreed. I've been closer unintentionally to stuff made out of metal and much bigger. If it only took a nudge of rudder and aileron to miss, it wasn't that close.

Converging flight paths at a shallow angle while gaining from behind is a real ***** to see and avoid. Until it's happened to you, you really don't know just how hard.
