I've had it.

Yeah. I suppose Bob has already left the building, but, you're right.
Right now I'm taking a break from writing CFI lesson plans, and all over
my desk I have the sources I've been using and referencing:

1. Aviation Instructor's Handbook, FAA-8083-9
2. Airplane Flying Handbook, FAA-8083-3A
3. ASA CFI Test Prep
4. 2008 FAR/AIM
5. Sporty's Training Course Outline
6. "The Flight Instructor's Manual" by William Kershner and
7. "Say Again Please - Guide to Radio Communications by Bob Gardner.

I sent you a PM with (virus-scanned) Word files attached. I tried
pasting one into a reply but the formatting looked awful.

Not in the least. I understand his reasoning completely.

BG the AOPA Forum, Pilots of America, and Purple boards.

I might follow you there also. The kooks and attention seekers have
taken over any forum not moderated. These days, building an RV, the
only half-useful forum is Vans Air Force, which is moderated. I've
heard the AOPA Forum is anti-experimental but I'll give it a go.

Too bad, because the Usenet format is still far superior to the
"forum" format. Very low bandwidth required for pure text and all
groups in one convenient tool (your newsreader). Using GNUS (Emacs) I
can get through a dozen different groups in 2 to 3 minutes. With the
online, web-based forums it takes far longer to cruise through the
posts. Gotta love the old Un*x tools, still the best for productivity.

I agree. I participate in a couple of motorcycle forums and find the
user interface overly complex and hard to use as compared to good old
usenet. Some things were just right from the start and usenet is one of
them.

Indeed.

Simplest is best.
