Few points from Ostrow WGC.

1) OGN network was quite spotty, I doubt that "ground controllers" were of any use. Most of the gliders were in sight in large gaggles, no need to flarm radar. Letting polish or french teams to start 3 minutes before and then catch them with flarm, you are out of luck. They are that good.

2) Kawa flew either flarm off or in stealth mode (and got warning for not being visible on tracking). No one leeched him by using flarm.

Civility goes a long way to keeping a functioning newsgroup! Since you mentioned him, Sean Fidler is a real world example. His is one of America's top competition pilots, young and enthusiastic (at least was) about the sport.. He is now off this newsgroup. When we host and share different views points without banal comments everyone benefits.

I 100% agree.

Now THAT's funny! I doubt I'm the only one to notice the irremovable irony
associated with this particular example.
