Sorry bout the misspellins, I ussually type fast and dont bother to
proof. Your calling everyone a "Jerk Off" could not have illustrated
my point more, or better.

I've posted on these groups thousands of times over the last nine
years, and have made many good and lasting friends here. *

You have also bashed just about every Non White, Non US Middle Class
segment of society.


To say these groups were a marvelous asset to any pilot was an
understatement. *There was simply no better source of information
available, anywhere.

How far we have fallen!

Over time, I came to know most of the regulars here, both on-line and
in-person. *I created our "Rogue's Gallery" of Rec.Aviation pilots
(See it hehttp://www.alexisparkinn.com/rec_aviation.htm) to
provide a place for everyone to show off their planes and where
they've flown, and everyone used it -- back when I used to promote its
existence here.

Our annual "Fly-In Pool Party" and "Rec.Aviation HOPS Party" at
Oshkosh became fixtures with many, many pilots who heard about it here
first. *We were one big, happy family, and EVERYONE was welcomed with
open arms -- especially non-pilots.

Sadly, sometime in early 2007, things started to change. The level of
cordial collegiality and downright brotherhood here -- formerly the
best part of this group -- began to deteriorate. *Suddenly we had non-
pilots posing as pilots -- and real pilots responding to them with
such brilliant responses as "****wit!" -- over and over and over
again, ad nauseum.

The fjuckwit guy isnt me. I will give Bertie credit that he does a
good job of heckling those who take themselves too seriously. He also
knows alot more about flying than you do. You can bite me if you are
suggesting that I am not a real pilot. With all of the OT threads that
you have started, it is funny that you think that only "Real" pilots
should post here. Why not anyone with a valid avaition related
topic ? What makes you, of all posters, the USNET police
