This generation, I tell you, they don't appreciate what they have! In my day we had to beat papyrus bark to make the fiber to spin into thread! But tell the kids these days.... We had no papyrus in the glaciers. We had to shave live woolly mammoths to get fibers to weave for our fabric. On the bright side our wives didn't complain about our building airplanes, I was the first in my glacier to build one, since there was no such thing as divorce. We would simply trade 'em off to another clan. Life was rough back then, I tell ya. Dan, U.S. Air Force, retired |

Some answer for an experimental group. Really? Post them again, and see what you get, now. I can't remember what you have asked. So sorry if they tell people not to make substitutions in structure that will be holding their LIVES in their hands, like substituting aluminum for steel wing hold downs. Next time you have a question like that, remind us, and we will tell you, "no problem, go ahead and change the plans." Seriously, if you have to ask about changing plans, and you are willing to take a bunch of stranger's advise on making a change, then you have no business making such a change, or probably even building an airplane. Other questions posed here usually get a fair chance, when it is not talking about major structural changes. I think you are giving the group a bum wrap, on that one. Good job dumb ass, you just proved his point in capital letters. Next time why don't you post it in red type. Now take your medication and go to bed. |

One of my observations has been how quickly someone suggests we can solve all questions by sending the posted to search the archives. It always completely ingores the possibility someone might have joined the group recently with fresh input on a subject. |

Agreed, but I'd add doing an archive search isn't always easy if you don't ask the question correctly in the first place. I have had cases where I have gotten the answers I news groups when someone points out the correct term for something. I would direct someone to archives if they want more than what I can give.

True Dan, one of my downfalls is the correct term for what I'm asking.
I've only been into flying and homebuilding for the last five years and when I started asking questions (or even now), I would ask with the wrong term and boy, did I hear it. On the other hand, most of the time when I would ask a question, I would hear a from a dozen posters that you could just tell, didn't have a clue how to answer. Lou |

It gets really tedious reading about them. I know, change my browser to ignore them or don't read it but it is still get aggravating to see the same subjects all the time. |

In article 2gGxh.1016$Yl3.973@trndny09, Jerry Springer says...

I know that most of the people I know that read this newsgroup are tired of hearing about them over and over and over again. The same things are hashed over and over and over about them. It gets really tedious reading about them. I know, change my browser to ignore them or don't read it but it is still get aggravating to see the same subjects all the time. In a way that's exactly what zoom wants,he wants everyone to forget what he has done to people for the last 20 years. He backs off and waits until a new group of newbies show up who are unaware of his past and then he can play hero all over again. I realize that for some, this fight gets old but it's a necessary fight. To expose zoom is to protect newbies ,be they readers or advertizers from what zoom will do time and time again. To readers he will portray himself as the next coming of Chuck Yeager and a super hero who has done and flown all things aeronautical. Newbies will take him at face value and think he's super pilot. All wonderful and full of goodness.When in fact he's a phony. Newbie advertizers will soon learn that if you start to advertize with him he will run ads you didn't want and bill you for them .If you don't pay up he'll sue you, something that Liberty Aerospace and ControlVision are now involved in.I bet now they wish they knew about zoom's tactics before they started advertizing with ANN . So there is a reason for all this whether you agree or not is your decision but I hold no grief with those who don't find it of interest. Usually it only interests those who have been zoomed :-) See ya Chuck S RAH-14/1 ret |

I tell you, for something called a sloth, those babies can move. We did figure out obsidian blades, though - they're great if you're near a volcano. Sharp and cheap. Now you know why sloth is one of the seven deadly sins. But these kids today, with their fancy "steel" and "aluminum" and "gasoline" - they don't understand what it was like in the old days. Hey, is it true you can distill fermented honey by freezing it? My old building buddy Og swears he's seen it done. Dunno about that, but the youth of today don't appreciate how we invented such nav aids as the first VOR at Stone Henge. Dan, U.S. Air Force, retired |
