That isn't you, is it Lennie?"

Who is "Lennie" because I'm not "Lennie". I assume that you are
taking a swipe at me. I would appreciate it if you could refrain from
personal attacks. You are only validating my point.

Did it ever occur to any of you that the soaring community is
responsible for the declining membership in the SSA and the declining
numbers of soaring pilots?

to be very friendly especially if you weren't
a competition pilot and just flew around the
flagpole like I used to do.

The soaring community and
environment are just too unpleasant and
there are much better ways for
me to spend my precious weekends.

I can't speak for anyone else, but I'll
say "sorry" if you had an unpleasant
experience at a contest or in a club.

I've met many more nice/friendly people
involved in soaring than in many other
pursuits I've tried. Sure, there are a few
arrogant SOB's in every aspect of life
but for the most part glider pilots are a
decent group.

I hope you find a way to give the sport
another chance in the future.
