Merry Christmas to all

You have to be kidding. *Bertie, in the over all view of things, is
wors
e
for the group than MX ever could be.

For evidence of the downfall of this group, I once again direct you to
the Rogue's Gallery: http://www.alexisparkinn.com/rec_aviation.htm

Take a long look at the dozens and dozens of pilots who felt so
attached to this group that they sent pictures of their plane(s) along
with a personal write-up, just a few short years ago. It's easy to
appreciate the positive, enthusiastic, upbeat tone of the write-ups
and all the photos of their beautiful aircraft.

Now check out how many of these same folks no longer post here, thanks
to the trolls. The number of good folks who have been driven away by
their never-ending bile FAR outnumber those who still hang out here on
a regular basis.

I'm still in touch with many of these folks, off-group. Some have
become very good friends over the years. Without exception, they have
abandoned this newsgroup to escape the handfull of anonymous
miscreants who feel called to hijack every thread. They simply voted
with their feet, and moved on. It's extremely sad, and we're all the
worse for it.

We can only hope that the Christmas spirit will infect these
newsgroup-
Scrooges, and they'll turn into positive contributors. Or maybe --
just maybe -- their parents will take away their computers until
school starts again...



I'm genuinely touched and hereby resolve to leave the fjukktard Anthony
alone.

From this day forward I will only respond to every post that you make
that does not contain something that advances aviation technically.
Pretty much all of them, in other words.



Merry Crhistmas.
