Perfect for our long limbed friends...

...the "Knee Defender." Adam (a long limbed lad himself) alerted me to this contraption created for those who max out on legroom of airplanes...a problem yours truly does not suffer from. The plastic thingamabobbers attach to the metal arms of your lowered tray table and they essentially jam the reclining mechanism of the person seated in front of you. Don't let the name "Knee Defender" mislead you, this product is very genteel and even comes with a "Courtesy Card" that diplomatically attempts to foster dialogue between all parties. As for those who take issue with the width of airplane seats, you're out of luck, but please do not lift the armrest separator between you and your neighbor out of common courtesy to those seated in your row and respect for their personal space and boundaries.
