Your right. Bob has to be a troll and should be plonked. Why he posted
to Soaring I have no idea

It's hard to convince an idiot so I'm gone.

Right on, Big John!

As far as "Bob" is concerned, though, I regret--and apologize
for--cross-posting a forwarded message concerning the P-51's/Aces
get-together to both r.a.soaring and r.a.military. It seems, along with
the sports thread for which I am NOT responsible, to have degenerated
here on r.a.s. much more quickly than most. I did not allow for it
attracting the attention of Rob, who is notorious on r.a.m, and thus
causing cross-pollution of r.a.s.

On the other hand, soaring people are apparently way too highly evolved
intellectually for anything so mundane and simple-minded as either
professional sports or flying fighters. As always, those that can, do;
those that can't, bitch about those who can. Why sure, Ted Williams and
Bob Feller were just good ol'boys who couldn't make it any other way.
And we wonder why the US doesn't breed many world champions these days.

In the future my expectations for the quality of r.a.s. dialog will be
more closely geared to the requirements of "those who can't," and to an
enhanced assessment of the limited potential of r.a.s. to deal in a
mature fashion with subjects indirectly related to the nominal News
Group topic.
