Why is Soaring declining

Perhaps we should start voluntarily limiting our flights to 1 hour and
within 15 miles of the airport so the Lennies of the world needn't
feel so bad about their lack of achievement.

That's quite ok, lemming. If I work for five minutes, I will have
achieved more in those five minutes than you have in your lifetime.
Hours in the log mean nothing outside of that piece of garbage
wrapping. MY greatest achievement was realizing that soaring is just
a money suck, and getting out of it. Next came the axle for the
motorized wheelchair that I made a week ago at no cost. Your soaring
achievements have done _what_ to help someone else that has a _real_
need?

Pipe it up your rear, kraut.

I knew it was too good to last. From feast to famine, he's back to his old
routine again.

Me and that rodent from krautland are never going to have a good word
for each other. I couldn't ask for a more perfect example of an
elitist, arrogant fathead than finley.

Whatever. It was a poor post. Our participation in soaring does not make
the world a better place - agreed. But, soaring is not all we do and
many (most) of us are assets to our community.

Soaring has left you bitter and that's unfortunate. Next to my wife,
soaring was the best thing that ever happened to me.

IT was also addressed to finley, and a bit milder than I could have
been, while not even feeling bad about it.

Don't blame the activity, a minority of fatheaded soaring people are
to blame. For two and a half years I put up with and tried to fight
off the snide comments about my plane and where it would lead me, then
decided being in a bad mood all the time wasn't worth it. No sense in
thinking about a good day, when you knew there was a 90% chance that a
fat ego with a big mouth was going to destroy it for you. Better to
have an average day and not go anywhere.

I'm damn proud of the things I do and do well, even more so that if
someone has a real need, and no money, I can do it as a freebie. I
feel far better having the skills and being able to use them to
benefit than I do about having the skill to fly, and knowing that
there is no benefit.
