The 'them' in my statement referred to the people who fly 1-26's. So
now you are saying the people who are flying 1-26's are rich men of
personal wealth? A "closed clique"?

To put it very bluntly, my 1-26 was eating ALL of the money that I had
to spend, and for me to continue would have been exceedingly stupid.
Yes, I could have "put it on the card", and had the appearance of
someone that was better off than I am, but that would have been
stupidity multiplied by a factor of ten.

An amazingly incorrect view.

Maybe in your eyes. The average hourly worker isn't found at a glider
strip, unless it's for a ride on a gift certificate. Could be a sign
of common sense.

So I wrote off the 7 or 8 thousand dollars it had cost me in three
years as a total waste. I'm not stupid enough to go back, I can sit
at home and be ignored.
