This is the most asinine statement I have ever read on RAS. Crying out loud, did you really not know Flarm was designed from the ground up as an anti-collision device and it is very effective for its designed purpose ?! Can you really not see multiple holes in your "logic jump"? Your thoughts become your words, and yours are off base illogical and downright foolish. I hope your New Years resolution if for clearity of thought.

Happy NewYears all!

Thanks, Jonathan,

I am ever so grateful that you have lifted the scales from my eyes. I had no idea that Flarm was designed from the ground up as an anti-collision device. That is what I have used it for in my glider, but I thought I had just somehow stumbled upon a novel use for that mysterious little box. Who would'a thunk it?

Hey, maybe you can tell me what these GPS thingies are for? I'm thinking GPS stands for "going purty straight". Is that right? And then there's this other thing on my panel that makes "beep-beep-beep" and "boop-boop-boop" sounds. Mostly the "boop" sound, though. What is that?
