After being away from the groups for an extended period of time I
have come back to find Jay Honeck, as well as many other posters,
are no longer around. Anyone know why this and many of the other
aviation groups seem so dead???

Sure. Bertie, Mike, and Rich

Why don't you tell the WHOLE story? Do you even know it, or are you just
throwing BS against the wall based on your ignorance?

Jay had gotten to the point to which he was treating this NG as his own
personal soap box. He developed an illusion that he was entitled to be king
of this NG and nobody could possibly disagree with him. A few people called
him on some of his rather pointless posts, so in protest he took down his
"rogues' gallery" or whatever he called it from his web site, which was a
place for some people to post aviation related pictures. It was his attempt
to try and "rally the troops" against his detractors. The result was even
some of his former supporters pointed out how lame and childish he had
become. The fact was, Jay's participation had been dropping off well before
any of the people he blamed had ever taken issue with his BS. In his last
ditch effort to pander to those he thought were his supporters, he promised
for days, if not weeks, that he was going to abandon the NG forever. He
sunk to a level of childishness that nobody could stand and when he got no
support he finally took his ball and went home. Good ridance.
