Oh, they monitor these groups. They've seen so many people talk about how ridiculous
it is to spend 160K and more for a new plane and how Cessna hasn't improved a damn
thing in the new 172 and how the 172 is the same old 30 year old design, and they've
come to the conclusion that they might just as well build planes the way they always
have, 'cause you guys aren't going to buy them anyway.

either by marriage or by removal of the afflicted from the circumstances
under which he incurred the condition. It is sometimes fatal, but more
often to the physician than to the patient.
