I'm with you, T8.
I read this exact strategy back in the 80s; I think it was in Reichmann's book. I couldn't wait to perform a Split-S through a thermal. I was a new guy and thought that would be cool. The "come to Jesus" meeting at the end of the day with the other occupants of the thermal was, shall we say, enlightening. So here's my take on this whole Flarm "stealth" thing: Those who want stealth mode, don't want others to be able to identify them and become remoras. That seems a nicer word than leeches. They state the reasons for their opposition in clear terms. Those who don't want stealth mode want to be remoras but don't want to admit it. In an attempt to push their view, they fall back on Mom, apple pie, children, lawyers, and safety. We see the same arguments all the time in other activities and they become more unlikely and extreme with each round.
