I'm all in favor of congratulating new pilots. Especially those who
solo at a young age.



I would have not problem posting the name and soaring location of my
granddaughter upon her solo. I'd be so proud I'd want the world to know.
Unfortunately all I have is a bunch of grandsons (g).

I think we may be getting a bit too cautious here. Her home address and
phone number were not posted. If some sickie wants to go after a young girl,
I think it likely he won't start on ras.

For that matter, our theoretical sicko could pick up most any SOARING
magazine in the library and get not only names, but actual pictures of real
kids! It is still normal to show pictures and name names of minor children in
the mass meda. I would not worry about an obscure, knerdy, newsgroup like ras.

I agree. This is a place where (for the most part) real people use their
real names. With no problems that I have ever heard of.

Bumper,
There are really two issues here.

First, I think it is impolite to publish anyone's information in a
public forum without their permission. The original poster may have
had that permission but I doubt it.

Second, You're wrong when you say that person's home address wasn't
listed. Without out right telling you how you could get it let me say
that in this forum a first and last name coupled with metropolitan area
is as good as an address.

Obviously most of the group here feels differently and that's fine.
Reasonable people can and do disagree.

Fly safe
