Hi,

What cracks me up about all this is that I did one simple note which has
prompted many, many more notes. Which is more annoying, the original note,
or the many negative notes afterward? I would guess that the ratio of
negative notes to my original post is 10 to 1. The negative posts impact
the readability of this newsgroup much more than the single post I did.

Now I'm sure there will be many negative posts knocking this note. I dare
you all to not post anything in response. I just dare you. But I guess
that would be impossible for those with strong opinions who feel the need to
post those opinions every time I make an informational posting to this
group. In case you haven't figured it out yet, the negative notes will not
change me from doing occasional informational/commercial notes. I do them
pretty rarely so the impact is extremely small. So fire away, but all you
are doing is impacting this newsgroup negatively to a greater extent than I
am.

I have a suggestion that I know you can't and won't follow - Ignore my rare
notes and don't post negative notes after them. I know, that would be
impossible to do. "But Paul, I must post negative comments about your
notes. I just can't help it. It's for the greater good... What you're
doing is wrong according to some obscure rule that most people don't care
about."

I guess we are all entitled to our opinions. You know mine and I know
yours. So let's stop messing up this newsgroup with them.

Oops... now I guess this note makes it a total of 2 notes from me on this
thread...

How would you like all commercial businesses associated with Soaring to
post on the RAS with the disclaimer that ?

Why limit it to soaring? There are lots of non-soaring
related businesses that would love to post. Or how about
those who sell diapers to glider pilots for those long
flights - the semi-related products?

The charter prohibits commercial posts - that's true of all
rec.* groups except those with charters that explicitly
permit them. The terms of service of all ISP's prohibit
such posts, or they are denied a Usenet feed.
