[I understand there is a sect which sees single panniers as heresy.
It’s worse than that. There’s a sect that sees double panniers as heresy!

Doesn't each side denounce the other as heretics.

I see the racktop bag the real winner in all this as it sits on the fence denouncing both

I would not think of pushing past someone with only a ding, ding, I like to be sure that my message has been received before overtaking.

And of course there is another fundamentalist sect which rejects any sort of luggage strapped to the bike.
The Velominati.Rule 29. No European Posterior Man-Satchels.Saddle bags have no place on a road bike, and are only acceptable on mountain bikes in extreme cases.

Two walkers in front going the same way as me.
I dinged my bell.

I came up behind them and said, "Excuse me please".
They jumped out of their skin!
.......... and one of them said, "I wondered what that ringing noise was!"

If you whisper, you're not going to be heard over other traffic and people's conversations. If you merely speak, you'll need to be scarily close - someone thinks they're walking alone and suddenly a voice says "excuse me" - of course they jump.
I know its not a word, and that is why you guessed what I meant to write. You make a lot of fuss over a slip.
You really want to prove that a bell is the only way. Why, I wonder.
A voice, as I said, can encompass all that a bell can, and a good deal more.
I find many cyclists are convinced that their's is the only true way to cycle, and need to tell other cyclists where they are going wrong. If you are keen on bells, then fine, but don't get so dogmatic about it.
I come across many helmeteers, but few bellists. I understand there is a sect which sees single panniers as heresy.

A swiftly-rotating tyre abrading the inner walls of the gluteal fold is hardly likely to appeal to anyone.
