Neither "his" nor "hers". You must use "their" to avoid offending anyone.
Rules of grammar be damned!

And, OBTW, thanks Bob for trying to show me how to discover the hit count.
I'm using Windows Mail and am clueless. Having searched through the help
files, I've given up. Maybe I'll boot to Ubuntu...

I'm a slow learner and not a contest pilot. At first I knew nothing about
this topic. But just had a revelation....

It's glider contest strategy!
What a great idea to make other contest pilots think you are absolutely
out of your blanking mind! They won't want to share a thermal with you.

"There's (name a top pilot) ahead, I'll leach his (or her if you're
liberal) thermal. He'll leave to save his life from my published threats,
and have to use an inferior thermal.
Top this one out, pass him and... On to the next victim!
Hahahahahaaaaaaaa!" (add plenty of reverb to the laugh for additional
effect)

Is this a commonly used contest strategy?
How is it best used?
