Of course this Usenet moron has no idea that we just buried our son after losing him to cancer. I am very saddened to hear of your loss. I do not know you except by your postings, and by them you have always struck me as a helpful, intelligent, and decent person. The apple never falls far from the tree, the old proverb allegedly goes, so I have no doubts that he lived up to the same standards as his old man. |

Truly sorry to hear of your loss Dudley. Kind of ironic that you and the person that said that, both sock puppet for the same wannabe troll. From my perspective, you must share some of the responsibility for the sleezeball joining our group. Truly sad. |

The discussion on the moderated forum is simply kept on topic by force instead of left to the individual poster. The truth is that BOTH Usenet and moderated forums can be useful IF the posters themselves can control the venue. Usenet, at least Usenet on the pilots forums, have demonstrated, and are demonstrating as we speak, inability to do this. THIS is the reason pilots are leaving these forums for the moderated forums. As you can see, I'm still posting here on this forum. I will suggest to you that what you will most likely see appear posted as answers to this post might very well finish making my argument. :-) Anyway, nice talking to you today. -- Dudley Henriques I'm afraid I'll have to agree with Michael. If moderated groups are so wonderful, and full of so many wonderful people, what are you doing still here recruiting? |

If moderated groups are so wonderful, and full of so many wonderful people, what are you doing still here recruiting? I've never left, never said I was leaving, and won't be leaving. No need too. Giving people an alternative place to post serious aviation discussion is simply my project of the day so to speak. Oh BTW, those two alternatives for friendly and serious aviation discussion are; http://www.pilotsofamerica.com/forum...isplay.php?f=5 http://www.purpleboard.net/~purplebo/forums/index.php Thank you Max for the continuing opportunity of accomplishing two things at one time, first demonstrating why these alternatives might be seriously considered by some, and secondly, affording me the opportunity of reposting the links just in case some have missed seeing them. -- Dudley Henriques |

Hi Dudley,
My sincere condolences to you and your wife--I know how devastating it must be for you. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. Paul "Dudley Henriques" wrote in message ... Michael wrote: I'm seeing a lot of people leaving usenet quite publicly, in favor of a moderated forum, because the signal to noise ratio on the group has become so poor. This is of course their right and decision. I don't intend to follow them, and that of course is mine. I will, however, point out some major advantages of an unmoderated, anonymous forum - like this one - for some of the topics we discuss. Michael Yes, by all means let's take a look at some of the advantages of an unmoderated Usenet forum..........like this gem for example, posted yesterday by some idiot posting here on this Usenet forum using a false name.

Thank you Jim; Dave was a wonderful man, and losing him was the saddest thing we've ever had to endure. We are left with wonderful memories of him and the time all of us had together. He was an inspiration to us all, and even in the time his Melanoma tore at his body and drove him closer to death, he spent his days trying to help US deal with what was happening. Your thoughts were greatly appreciated and I will be sharing them with my wife tonight. I'm sure she as well would echo what I have said here to you. -- Dudley Henriques |

There is no way that the immature cretins who delight in posting slurs on other posters could achive the strength of character that you just displayed in not going into a rage at the post above. As I have got older I have come to accept that death is inevitable, the only question is when it will come and the quality of the life before that event. I will meet you one day and on that day I will shake your hand. Regards, More_Flaps. |
