Default rec.aviation replaced by yahoo??

Hi,

Is this the most active web discussion group on homebuilts, or have one of
the Yahoo groups sites taken over most of the interest?

Thanks,

Steve Gubser

YAHOO?

Wazzat?


Barnyard BOb --

People can get what they want out of these newsgroups. If serious
questions are asked they are usually answered if someone has an answer.
Even then a lot of the replies are not really facts just opinions that
someone has on a subject. What I find interesting is the fact that
people who complain the most about content are the ones that never
contribute anything worth while. Also if all the lurkers go away because
of content then who needs them? People can make a newsgroup what they
want it to be, why don't all the lurkers out there post some serious
information instead of coming here once in a while and complaining about
content?

You will lose by not reading here, although you have to bulldoze the trash.
Or just walk over it.

Don't know...Don't use Yahoo groups.

The activity on RAH tends to vary a lot, both on and off topic.
Posting sometimes dwindles off, then picks back up.

I can't see as I've seen any great change over the years as a whole.

I believe that any pilot that flies drunk should be hung out to dry by
any means possible. Those two A**H*** jerks were responsible for a whole
lot of lives. I would hate to be on the airline that had a drunk pilot
or two flying it. I don't even want a drunk pilot flying anywhere around
the airspace I am flying my RV-6 in. How can two people that are
intelligent enough and spent years getting to the positions they were in
blow it like that?

Jerry
Course Bernie this is off topic for this newsgroup. :-)


Yes, off topic, but permit this one final thought. Institutionalized
alcoholism is a fact of military flying.

Officer's Clubs, Stag bars (flight suit only), rolling dice for who
buys ... it's a macho pilot thing where the millitary will deny a
problem exists ... but in fact, they serve serve up the booze and
enable the whole drinking culture.

Most airline types are ex-military. Military has a "drinking
culture". You can draw the connections. Not to defend what they did
.... but perhaps to explain how they might have gotten there.
