Anybody see the new issue? (with the Baron on the cover) Jay's been
recognized for his effort with ASN.
Saw it, but nobody's home here anymore. Where is everybody? These
groups feel like being at the beach in February.
Now, few have remained, after MXsmanic and some trolls had open season
on ****ing matches. They went to some other piloting web based group,
but I can't remember what its name is.

Seems like some can't ignore trolls, like they did back in the day of
the bass wars.

Very sad, that one addicted, unbalanced kid could cause so many good
people to leave.
I saw it and very good for Jay. I am the ASN for my local airport. We
have had some issues, but not like Jay has had. Everybody had gone to
Pilots of America. I looked at it, but the format is just too much
harder than these newsgroups. It is too bad. They probably have
established themselves there and will not come back. I check here from
time to time just to see if there is anything going on.

I looked at POA as well and came to the same conclusion. It's
unfortunate in a way that so many find it necessary to argue with the
troll, and in another way it's a potentially fascinating case study for
anyone interested in psychology. However it has also made it easy for me
to reduce the time that I was spending on usenet--and the time that I
saved is now fully committed elsewhere.

I could not agree more. The more I requested that everyone ignore MX and
MX's responders, it would not happen. They fed on each other. I learned a
lot here and enjoyed it muchly. Now the newsgroup is gone and I had to
sell my plane. Not in a happy place....

I'm really sorry about the plane. I also miss the good old days of the NG,
but there is much, much more to do than corresponding on usenet.
