O.P.'s question and a 'peed-in-Wheaties' intervening reply snipped...

He/she posted from AviationBanter.com which says he/she's student in
Thailand. In another thread, he/she's said age 19 and not yet started
flight training. He/she's made a total of 16 posts in 7 days in three
newsgroups, including a flickr page on the Bangkok Air Show

So here we have someone who's done at least some homework, has
youthful inquisitiveness, and would like to see things develop in
Thailand.

Local access to soaring is likely rather limited, so he's turned to
r.a.s. with a bunch of questions. You don't have to read or respond.
As for me, give me another 10,000 more youth with this much burn for
aviation on RAS.

Maybe it's just me, but I don't think the sport of soaring is of such
robust health that we practitioners of it should arbitrarily decide "too
many/frequent questions" equates to "trolling."
