As this thread is about why do we soar, and you don't anymore, and you don't
even like it, I can't understand why are you posting reasons about how much
you don't like soaring.

My intent with the first posting was to point out that there is no
such thing as "cheap aviation". Soaring is cheap when compared to
other forms of aviation, but still far out of the reach of the average
working man, especially since wages have done nothing but drop in real
dollars over the last twenty years. If there was some way I could
pick it up again, without having to go to a single purpose in life, I
might do it. As there is no way I could do it without going back to
work full time, it isn't going to happen.
