I think what you are seeing is "evolution in action"

I would characterize the change as devolution. Evolution occurred
when the rec.aviation.piloting charter was created and passed by vote.

in that this group is evolving into a forum of individuals with a common
interest (flying) discussing some topics that are, perhaps, tangentially
related to flying.

And perhaps not. Personally, I see NO relation to flying in this
question: "So... What are ya'll doing for New Years Eve?" And the
vulgar responses generated by that question bear testament to its
inappropriateness, IMO.


I believe that the "vulgar responses" were aimed at you for being the NG
cop, not at me for asking a simple innocent question.

Because the newsgroup's charter ceased being periodically published,
the OP was unaware that there were guidelines for the topics of
rec.aviation.piloting articles. But publishing the
rec.aviation.piloting charter in the newsgroup isn't going to give him
a place to post similar invitations to kibitz. The creation of a new
newsgroup might.



Hey Larry, have you killfiled me or you just don't want to answer my
previous reponses about YOU posting off topic? YOU need to read the charter
and practice what you preach.
