And I'll add this well for all the good it will do; which isn't much.

RAM has just about been ruined by the idiots over there espousing their
"political" preferences and using the group to argue political comment
back and forth. Most of the pilots and the interested aviation people
have either gone completely or post very little over there any more. I
personally don't even bother with it any longer.

RAM has become a garbage dump for clever people who have discovered that
by posting political crap on a military newsgroup, they can sucker
reaction answering posts, and unfortunately it's a VERY viable
technique. It WORKS!

And if the people around here who have worked and slaved for years
making RAMN the fine newsgroup that it is don't quit this f*****g
political bull ****, this group will end up in the same GD dumper!

Here's the pile on. Pechs, weren't you the guy who was quitting RAMN a
couple of months ago because of all of the off-topic posts that were all
over the NG? Didn't a bunch of others on the group ask you to stay?

I agree. Let's end the political portion of this thread.

Your discussion starter on the ANG is a good one though.
