Dern sissy, when I was young I had to trudge through blizzards to
get to my hangar. It was up hill...... both ways...

You had it good. We was so poor I had to walk two miles through three
feet of snow, barefoot, uphill both ways to get to school.


Now let me tell you about having to kill a cave bear to get sinew to
sew fabric for my first airplane.......

Yah know we were all a lot tougher when we were young. Hows that old
saying go? "The older I get the better I was.":-))

Sinew!? 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.

Consider how many times a person asks a question because they are
stuck or can't find the answer on an
older newsgroup page. Now consider how many completly stupid answers
he gets from the morons that don't really
know what their talking about. After a while of hearing complete
stupidity instead of helpful answers it's now wonder
the post have slowed down. I can't tell you how many times I've posted
because I want to try something different, and the
number one answer for the self appointed experts is "follow the
plans". 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.

Hi Lou, I don't know you from Adam, but I agree with this 100%. We seem
completely overwhelmed with negative contributors, and real short on
positive input. 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.

there are two problems.
age
frustration

....oh you mean the volume of traffic.
yes ditto here. though it's a lot healthier than sci.aeronautics.

I cant believe that everything is already known about aviation.
where would that leave the experts :-)

Maybe all is not known about airplanes but I sure don't care if I ever
see the words juan or zoom again. 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

Could be just my ISP, but over here the entire newsgroup ceased to exist
about a week ago. I just got access working again. Other newsgroups on the
same server were fine though..

We never had momoths. We tried shaving giant sloths once, couldn't
get them to hold still long enough. 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.
