Default Cell phone Aviation weather data

YAWS (Yet another Weather Site) is accessible from
WAP phones: http://activitae.com/wap
PDA/Smartphones: http://activitae.com/pda
Read about it: http://activitae.com/yaws

At the risk of appearing to spam, kindly allow me to re-publicise this
free site, bereft of both adverts and pop-ups, to help aviation data
remain free to GA users. The data currently derives from the US National
Weather Service. But some also comes form the US Air Force in Europe.

Whilst aviation weather data is universal some aspects of the site tend
to be a bit Europe centric, I'll admit, but I would be happy if others
found the site useful too! Currently, there are users around the world
including a number from .af.mil domains!

Hi everybody.

I just want to apologize for being a horses-ass on this newsgroup and
promise not to repeat my childish antics in the future. (Hopefully I can
keep this promise.)

I have been experiencing some personal problems and and took it out on the
newsgroup.

One of the reasons I have been so petulant is that I washed out of basic
flight training due to my poor piloting skills.

LOL at the impostor. Some people just can't stand to hear criticism.

These are probably the same pilots ruining it for the majority.

Amazing. Certainly accepted on my part.

Give a person a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a person to
use the Internet and he won't bother you for weeks.

LOL. Of course you realize that no apology was offered from the real
Skylune. Nothing to apologize for. I am an American, and can express my
opinions, just like you can.

Of course, unlike some of the Whackos in the group, I have not ever made
personal threats, have not threatened to break laws, and will never do so.
There are legal, political methods to rein in the abuses of certain GA
pilots. Sad that your industry will not police its own.....

The people in this group who make threats and brag about how easy it is to
violate FARs are psychos: scary how easily virtually anyone can get
his/her ticket. This newsgroup, I-Pilot, and others that I monitor
acknowledge that there are arrogant, marginally skilled, and some very
stupid pilots. And thats pilots talking about other pilots. The topic
covering the stupid pilot antics at Oshkosh is a good example.

So, goodbye for now. I'm going to the Docket management system to
encourage an expansion of ADIZs to cover areas that I live in, near NYC
and Boston. There are also some EPA fuel handling violations at one of
the local airports near my summer home. I'll be giving the EPA's
northeast center a call so they can check it out. And, hopefully, fuel
prices will really sky-rocket to keep economic pressure on the industry.
Good luck.

Is this guy psychotic or schizophrenic? One minute he's saying one thing and
something else the next.

Weird.

Look at the message headers. They are clearly from different origins.
Almost certainly the apology was a hoax.

I'd look at the poster IP data in the header to see if I could match it up
to any other newsgroup regular (out of curiosity...I wouldn't report them
for the fraudulent use of Usenet, not in this case ), but Google Groups
doesn't show that part of the header, and for some odd reason posts from
" aren't being downloaded or stored by my news
reader.

Huh? The "apology" was an obvious, underhanded forgery in retaliation for
his expressing unpopular ideas, and he immediately identified it as such.

Thanks! I had used this sometime ago but didn't bookmark it on my Treo.
I just added it, used it a bit, and will be using it in the future for
TAFs and METARs. Fills my need perfectly and the price is right.
Thanks much.

Yeah, I see what you mean.

What's this guy done to generate such animosity?
