What did I miss?
I've been out of RAP for about 9 months due to a crazy work schedule and a
blown up pc. But I reconnected with my news server last week....and wow. What has happened to our group? R.A. Student is even worse? Is this a sign of the crappy state of GA or just another example of unmoderated newsgroups dying out due to the crap some people post? Where is everybody?!?!?! hello!!!!!! echo....echooo...echoooo |

Jeff, you were lucky enough to miss most of the Troll Wars. At first
slowly, then in groups, most of us have migrated over to Pilots of America -- a wonderfully moderated group that simply won't put up with that sort of crap. See it he http://www.pilotsofamerica.com/ The interface takes getting used to, but I've discovered that by changing some settings you can make it look very "Usenet-ish". The content is unbeatable, and posts are (mostly) professionally, on-topic, and respectful. I still pop in here from time to time, mostly out of habit, and can only shake my head at what's happened here. It's a damned shame, but all it took was one mentally ill dude (with literally all-day to post) with a dedication to drive everyone away. I wouldn't have believed it possible, if I hadn't seen it happen. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 Ercoupe N94856 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

Very few threads are not contaminated with Max and Bertie non informative crap. I thought MX was bad, but he was at least amusing. |
