Thanks for the data-point. Have you got a URL?

I did not call YOU inane. I was referring to the often shallow
attempts at humor you routinely post. At least the signature line is
aviation related. Some folks like to read attempts at humor; I prefer
information.

And I enjoy your attempts at information Larry :-)

"Cat fight" was funny! Not shallow - funny.

"I know funny" is a quote from Good Morning Vietnam (1987) Unfortunately the
next line is "...and that's not funny." Let's move on ...

I was at a banquet Saturday night talking with the guy who organized the
National Air Tour. He mostly flew the Pilatus support plane. Talk about
funny stories - he's got some about the tour. ...but those stories are not
welcome here no more. :-(

This isn't a PhD dissertation newsgroup, it's a hangar flying newsgroup. We
all have our own styles. Mine is more relaxed and well, playful - for lack
of a better word. Shallow it is not! Says me.

So there.

- Airplane (1980)

(See, much of what I post is aviation related.)

The Wellstone crash (one year ago this week) was close. It was all tribute,
all the time, for a few days there - not much balance. For NPR, it was
pretty close to "absolutely ballistic."

I voted for Paul one time and against him one time. Most of us in Minnesota
really liked the guy. He is truly missed. As for his politics .....

You must listen to a different NPR than I do. I've never heard them go
"absolutely ballistic" about anything, even 9/11.

Hey, fellers, you gotta understand that using "today" and "tomorrow" in the
newsgroups, when newspostings can be hours or days off, doesn't mean squat.

Today is Wednesday, 29 October. About noonish in California. When is that
sucker supposed to hit?

SPACE WEATHER ADVISORY BULLETIN #03- 3
2003 October 28 at 10:55 a.m. MST (2003 October 28 1755 UTC)

**** SOLAR ACTIVE REGION PRODUCES INTENSE SOLAR FLARE ****

The dynamic solar regions reported on 21 October continue to produce
high levels of solar activity. NOAA Region 486 produced a category R4
(severe) radio blackout with an associated category S3 (strong) solar
radiation storm on 28 October at 1110 UTC (6:10 A.M. EST). The
SOHO/LASCO instruments also observed a full halo coronal mass ejection
with this activity, which is Earth directed. This region is the
second
largest in size this solar cycle.

As a result of this activity a category G4 (severe) geomagnetic storm
is
expected with periods of category G5 (extreme) levels possible. The
solar radiation storm is also expected to continue at strong (G3)
levels for the next 48 hours.

Further major eruptions are possible from these active regions as they
rotate across the face of the sun over the next few days. Agencies
impacted by solar flare radio blackouts, geomagnetic storms, and solar
radiation storms may experience disruptions through this period.
These
include spacecraft operations, electric power systems, HF
communications, and navigation systems.

Data used to provide space weather services are contributed by NOAA,
USAF, NASA, NSF, USGS, the International Space Environment Services
and other observatories, universities, and institutions. For more

Do you mean NPR or are you talking about the local affiliates?

Yeah, he seems to have had bipartisan respect, but was a bit too leftish
for me, too. Pretty dismal story about the crash. The investigation is
turning up stories about the pilot's having a poor reputation among the
other pilots at the 135 operation.

Personally, I find Montblack's "often shallow attempts at humor" to be quite
entertaining. Granted, I really enjoy bad puns too, so maybe I'm not the
best judge.

Montblack, don't you dare let Larry disuade you from your usual writing.
Some of us find your posts to be a welcome breath of fresh air in a forum
that is too often confrontational and overly serious. If all I wanted was
information, I'd spend my time reading the encyclopedia.
