Yeah I guess that makes sense Ed. I was directing that comment more at Dammit - who I think was saying that he found a rear pannier made it hard to get through tight gaps. As a rearpannierer myself, I wouldn't personally dream of going through any gaps where the width of the pannier might be a problem - even if I didn't have the pannier.
It's not so much that I find it hard to get through gaps, just that I'd prefer to have it in front of me - once I can see it's through a gap then I (assumption!) would know that the widest part of the bike is through so the rest should be fine.
Pannier as cats whiskers, as it were.
And I just thought it would be fun/cool/aesthetically pleasing - delete as suits your tastes.
