Not many 767s at TIW! Seriously, I have no problem with accommodating ATC
when it can be done safely, but neither am I going to do their job for
them
when they screw up.

Not always the case. Here at SJC when ATC asks: "Say best forward speed?"
they're saying "Look Hilton, we've got a bunch of 737s, 757s, 777s, a few
DC-10s etc coming down the approach. You gimme 120, I can get you in within
5 minutes. You gimme 90, maintain VFR, hold where you are, expect your
clearance sometime in the future."
