Well, I'm going to take a break from this group for a while. The signal to
noise level is so high, and the volume of junk so large, it takes too much time and annoys me. That's just silly, Jim. You make skipping a thread sound like changing the transmission in your van at OSH! (Oh, wait, you've done THAT already... ;-) Honestly, computers have made us SO lazy. Whenever the computer takes a while to download a file, we like to yell out "Dang it -- just LOOK at this thing! I don't have all MINUTE!" Our expectations of speed and results versus time expended have become absurdly unrealistic. Skipping a thread -- or marking it "read" -- takes a second. I'm unable to do even that using these stupid Google Groups (which I'm stuck using at the hotel), but I don't find it difficult to simply not read dumb threads. There's a lot of value here, and you're one of the more level-headed aviators in the group. Start some good threads, instead of leaving, dang it! -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |
