Pilots who have left this newsgroup will be replaced by more pilots. There
are plenty of pilots in the world.

Moderated forums and groups typically have a stifling atmosphere,
unfortunately.

I can readily understand why you would avoid moderated forums. What has
been spawned here on Usenet would NEVER fly on a web based moderated forum.

The sites he posted are moderated and the slime balls that post the crap

Perhaps, but so would slime balls that advertised other forums on those
"sites" ad nauseum.


Moderated??

Or thought control from Marxist anti-liberty slime balls?

More about Dudley the Spammer, for anyone interested. Check out the threads
related to these postings.

He has tried to dilute the group before, touting the wondrous groups
elsewhere, but always seems to return.

Just a few lines to let you know that if for any reason you student
pilots and the pilots and instructors who frequent this Usenet forum and
have devoted their time and effort freely attempting to make aviation
safer and educational wish to explore an alternative venue forum that is
moderated by aviation people, friendly to your questions and those who
answer you, you might wish to consider adding the online forum "Pilots
of America" to your list of places to hang out and exchange information.

I have explored this alternate venue and have found it to be quite
useful and seriously devoted to the aviation format.

Those interested in serious aviation discussion might wish to take note
of any and all off topic, ad hominem, and vitriolic posting that takes
place under this simple announcement post in deciding whether exploring
this new venue might be a worthwhile expenditure of your time. :-))))))

I will continue to post here as always if for no other reason than to
allow those students who are serious about aviation to be able to
compare the Usenet experience to the potential alternative experience of
the moderated aviation forum format.

Hope to see you over at Pilots of America.

For those interested in additional alternatives to Usenet, I have
already mentioned the Pilots of America forum and a lot of you have
checked in there.
Another great moderated forum for pilots interested in friendly,
educational, and serious aviation discussion is the "Purple Forums".
The links for Pilots of America and purple Forums are listed below.

Please note it is not my intention to destroy this forum by posting this
information. These are simply non profit moderated alternatives where
serious pilots, students, and those interested in aviation generally
have gathered to enjoy each other's company and exchange useful
information in a venue a bit different than what is happening here on
Usenet.

By all means make your own choices.
Possibly reading what will most likely appear under this post might help
some of you with making that choice :-))

Those web servers are private property bozo. You're the one promoting the
socialist crap. Set up your own damn "free" forums. Nobody is stopping you.

You'll still have this group to post to.

Believe it or not, it's actually possible to be at several places at the
same time; there for aviation, here to bug the likes of you. Doesn't
bopther me a bit yo yo :-)

Also,http://forums.aopa.org/

The AOPA groups are a fine alternative as you say. The only reason I
ommitted them is because I believe they require membership in AOPA to
access them. To do that I'd actually be spamming the group. The forums
I'm recommending are free access.
I agree with you that if anyone is willing to join or is already a
member of AOPA, their forums would indeed be an alternative to Usenet.
Not sure about the membership requirement however. Will check on this.

Dudley Henriques

Yes. membership is required, though it is pretty cheap - $39 a year,
and a pretty good deal at that. FWIW, I usually define spamming as
cross-posting non-relevant, commercial stuff to a massive number of
groups. In any event, if plugging AOPA makes me a spammer, I am fine
with that.

I do sort of wish there was just one board, instead of the big three,
as I do not feel like checking three boards a day. But then again,
choice is a great thing (assuming there is any significant difference
between the three).

Can't speak for DH, but my purpose in plugging the AOPA forum has
nothing to do with a desire to "dilute the group". Granted, it may
have that effect, but that is not the motivation. My motivation is to
help people that are like me (i.e. looking for real discussion) find
what they need. I'll still check this NG, but I want others
(especially fellow students) to know what else is out there.
