Yes, I think so. The original post quoted a COPA article talking about
Canada's Department of National Defence conducting GPS jamming exercises
near Ottawa (in Canada). You replied with:
"the GPS system is owned by the US DOD. What do you expect? It is their
system and they do with it whatever they please."

What does Canada's jamming of a US-provided signal have to do with the GPS
system being owned by the US? Why would the US even be involved? Hell,
Austria could jam the signal if they wanted to. You brought up the US is
"doing what they please" as if they had some sort of involvement in Canada's
jamming exercise.

You were wrong.

I don't blame anybody. I only stated that the system is a US
(military) system and that I won't use it for business use where I
have to rely on the availability. I haven't said anything else.
Anything else is only your interpretation.

I'm sure that's all you meant. What about recreational purposes? Is *all*
of your flying for business purposes? Do you *never* use GPS?

Forget it. I don't really care. Wait for the European system. Meanwhile,
I'll be over here using the system to help me get where I'm going
efficiently and to help rescuers find me if I were to ever crash.
