Just in case you are serious about the above:
that is about the dumbest comment i have read on RAS in a loooong time.

I'm sorry you feel that way.

A friend of mine:
- didn't want a collision!
- had a FLARM! (as had his opponent)
- had a parachute!

- died anyway in a collision approx. 200m above a mountain two months ago in
our glider.

Proves my point. He should have learned to fly better, instead of
trusting the technology to save him. What happened to the poor guy he
hit?

I have reread my response at leisure, and have realise that I
overlooked the words "friend" and "our glider". So I apologize if I
sounded heartless - that wasn't my intention.
