Flying as Therapy

I knew that Larry, I was just trying to lighten things up a little
considering the conversations we've had.

Everything prior to the stuff on flying puts a small crimp in that
romantic
vision of running a nice B&B ;^)

Yeah, it has its moments. Fixing a burst water pipe on Christmas Day was
exciting, too!

Luckily, today was "back to normal" -- with everyone happy, and all systems
"go" from the start. We had several pilots in from all over, and I was able
to spend a large part of the morning "hangar flying" with them in the lobby.

THAT is what makes it all worthwhile!

Hope today is even better.

It was!

Of course, that's damned with faint praise, isn't it?

Anyhow if anyone wants to discuss this further I'm most happy to do so
off-line - in email. To economize, though, I'll cut down my signature for
the good of the Usenet universe.

After all - think of all the bandwidth that's already been wasted with
these
entries. The horror........


See this is good. You've started trimming - you're now down to only one "The
Horror." g

Are you of the opinion that the amount of resources necessary to transmit a
150 or so line post to thousands of servers is somehow debilitating to the
system in a major way? Do you think that you, personally, would see a
major difference in server performance?

this is a typical unsocial behaviour. you know that it affects servers (at
least you know it by now). it is not only you alone, it is the mass
combined with all the other unsocial posters.

for example: as my (small) newsserver is working rather well I see that one
incoming article is about 5times feeded outbound. So if you have 1 MB
inbound you produce 5 MB outbound (and have to filter, store, feed, etc.).
Sure, those combined 6 MB doesn't make a difference if you only see these 6
MB, but too many newsservers have been shut down due to unsocial behaviour.

And not trimming your post in full awareness of the situation is UNSOCIAL.

yeah! finally, the killer argument that comes up with every discussion on
exactly this topic.
there should be a law for that. (usenet law, that is)

huh! hmm, I might work something out to give at least free access to
rec.aviation.piloting.* - but I doubt that this is needed.

so all this OT stuff doesn't have the same effect, consuming bandwidth and putting stuff on folks machines.

sheeze, if even half the posts here were on topic that by itself would help...

Both of them...
