Sorry Chuck, but Jerry is right. 99% of that stuff has just become either feeding Juan the troll, or Campbell stuff that is so far off topic it just doesn't belong here. Everone here realizes where that pair is coming from, give the rest of us a break. Is it time for a full and official shunning of both, forever? In truth, nothing would torque them off more than being assigned "irrelevant status". It's kinda fun to picture yawn jumping up and yapping, looking for attention and getting not a key click in reply. Mark Hickey |

![]() "Scott" wrote in message ... For the past several days I have only been averaging about 1 to 5 messages per day. That's way down from normal! I mean, there are usually that many from Juan alone...anybody else seeing this problem? Yep, same here. Usually after a particularly nasty flamefest between a few members, many people are unwilling to continue reading, so they don't read and don't post. Give it a couple weeks. Flamefests, as "righteous" as they may be, damage the group. Just my opinion. -- Jim in NC |

Consider how many times a person asks a question because they are
stuck or can't find the answer on an older newsgroup page. Now consider how many completly stupid answers he gets from the morons that don't really know what their talking about. After a while of hearing complete stupidity instead of helpful answers it's now wonder the post have slowed down. I can't tell you how many times I've posted because I want to try something different, and the number one answer for the self appointed experts is "follow the plans". Some answer for an experimental group. Lou |

Some answer for an experimental group. Lou Lou, There will always be those who will not deviate from the plans for any reason. They apparently feel that the designer took everything into consideration and to change anything invites disaster. Even some manufacturers will discourage any change to the plans or kit. Too bad, that is what I always thought experimental building was all about. My advice, filter out the nay-sayers and keep going. Its a learning process and the best way to learn is to experiment. You may find it difficult though to get answers from those who only follow the exact plans. Keep posting your questions and usually you can find some good advice among all the flack. |

Some answer for an experimental group. Really? Post them again, and see what you get, now. I can't remember what you have asked. So sorry if they tell people not to make substitutions in structure that will be holding their LIVES in their hands, like substituting aluminum for steel wing hold downs. Next time you have a question like that, remind us, and we will tell you, "no problem, go ahead and change the plans." Seriously, if you have to ask about changing plans, and you are willing to take a bunch of stranger's advise on making a change, then you have no business making such a change, or probably even building an airplane. Other questions posed here usually get a fair chance, when it is not talking about major structural changes. I think you are giving the group a bum wrap, on that one. -- Jim in NC Anyway, how many experts are left reading and posting, after exchanges that keep going and going, with buttheads like Juan.... My advise to everyone, is to know when to stop beating your head against the wall, and let idiots have the last word, sometimes. |

Good job dumb ass, you just proved his point in capital letters. Next time why don't you post it in red type. Now take your medication and go to bed. |

Some answer for an experimental group. Lou Hi Lou, I don't know you from Adam, but I agree with this 100%. We seem completely overwhelmed with negative contributors, and real short on positive input. One of my observations has been how quickly someone suggests we can solve all questions by sending the posted to search the archives. It always completely ingores the possibility someone might have joined the group recently with fresh input on a subject. |

Agreed, but I'd add doing an archive search isn't always easy if you don't ask the question correctly in the first place. I have had cases where I have gotten the answers I news groups when someone points out the correct term for something. I would direct someone to archives if they want more than what I can give.

True Dan, one of my downfalls is the correct term for what I'm asking.
I've only been into flying and homebuilding for the last five years and when I started asking questions (or even now), I would ask with the wrong term and boy, did I hear it. On the other hand, most of the time when I would ask a question, I would hear a from a dozen posters that you could just tell, didn't have a clue how to answer. Lou |

After some people joined that only had mayhem on their mind it dwindled down to barely active. It never really recoverd from that. Yoram |
