I don't think you get it. The original poster is talking about crossing in front of moving vehicles, as am I.
If you start to cross the street, and there is a car coming that will get to you in less than say.. 5 seconds, and you can't make it out of his way in 5 seconds, then you should wait.
The people that I hear complaints about, are not waiting until there is time to get to the other side without forcing traffic to slow down or even come to a complete stop.
So what if there are 4 lanes to cross. If there is a car in the first lane, are you going to mosy on out there just because you think you have the right to do so? It is not perfectly legal to cross the street if doing so forces a crossing vehicle to have to stop to keep from hitting you.
If you are waiting for traffic, and crossing when it's clear, then you are doing the right thing and this thread clearly wasn't intended for you.
As for anonymous posting. Until this forum requires logins, every post is relatively anonymous.
