Maybe it is time. When one looks at all the Yahoo groups that still
have an interest in aviation AND courteous, helpful members that stay
on topic (Tailwind, Buttercup, Aeronca, etc) this group is a dinosaur.

Go to homebuiltairplanes.com and register. We're all over
there now. It's moderated, as it needs to be, no foolishness is
tolerated and we have some good discussions.

I went and looked in again.
I dunno, Dan.
The forum format doesn't work for me.
TOO many topics, and too little traffic.

That's the same way that it looked to me.

Unless I have a specific issue to search, probably related to a current
project, the forum format is simply too tedious for normal reading and
exchange of ideas. Perhaps someone will find a way to implement an HTTP
based format that can work like NNTP; but, so far, I haven't seen it
Regrettably, I am not presently able to provide a news server that could
host a moderated group until the related service could gain general
acceptance--so I will just have to put up with the situation as it exists
and hope that the condition proves temporary.

Just go there and click on "What's New" and the entire list of new
posts comes up, sorta like it does with this and the other usenet
groups. You don't have to weed through the various forums. If there's
less activity there it's due to the lack of flaming and other
nonsense. It's not missed.
