That's because you are using the free Google Usenet interface to read
the rec.aviation.homebuilt newsgroup. I use Google too, most of the
time. But Google sure as heck isn't the only way to read Usenet
newsgroups.

Also, Google has no control over the moderation or content of Usenet
newsgroups. That would be like trying to hold your TV manufacturer
responsible for the fact that your set is capable of displaying
pornographic material.

I suggest the following document for a brief introduction to Usenet,
and some handy pointers as to what it is and what it is not:

http://www.faqs.org/faqs/usenet/what-is/part1/

My favorite part of that FAQ is:

3. Usenet is not fair.

After all, who shall decide what's
fair? For that matter, if someone
is behaving unfairly, who's going
to stop him? Neither you nor I,
that's certain.


If you don't like what Bob Urban writes, your best bets are to either
ignore it or to refute it with logic and reason. But remember that the
plural of anecdote is not data.

Thanks, and best regards to all
