SNS does this as a matter of course. I figure, at worst, it's to help

Ah, ok, never encountered it, thought maybe controller was being a lil
lazy. Only the Beech was in the pattern for runway one.

Sometimes I'm the only one in the air inside SNS area, and nobody moving
on the ground. And then, some days are busy.
