I belong to several aviation forums, and they all try to "improve" upon the format of Usenet by adding lots of whiz-bang features. (Avatars, buddy lists, etc.) Unfortunately, all of this stuff just gobs up the works, and makes the real fun of posting and reading posts more of a chore. Ease of use is what keeps Usenet popular in the face of many other options. And this is why you use google-groups? what else would he use? I'd say AOL was more his speed. Or better yet, Prodigy if it were still around in the U.S. He'd love their censorial practices. |

wrote in message ... Without going into a lot of needless detail, it is a fact that opiates are one of few drugs that in their pure form cause little physical harm to the human body. Maybe, but All Things Considered, January 2, 2008 · Every year, overdoses of heroin and opiates, such as Oxycontin, kill more drug users than AIDS, hepatitis or homicide. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/s...oryId=17578955 You presumably were talking about legally prescribed dosages and not OD's, but even at that, your statement is a bit too narrow to let pass without adding some clarifying wider context for the reader. |

A little positive GA news coverage
In over two decades of participation in Usenet, I've seen 'em come and
go. *Unfortunately, the bad seem to drive out the good. *Remember George Patterson, Pete Duniho, Wally Roberts, John T. Lowry, John R. Johnson, Wes Grady, Mary Shafer, ... ? And I can add another dozen or so names to that list. All real people, all using their real names, all real pilots. All gone. Not that they didn't relish a good argument -- far from it! But rather than simply shouting people down, they preferred to win through by using logic, superior knowledge, and a persuasive argument to carry the day. It was...fun. Your post makes many good points, and I thank you for posting them. Let's hope we see a renaissance of those values here again. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

He is the kind of guy who needs lists like these. Look at the way he theatens to leave but doesnt. I feel sorry for him. And what is shown by your constant need to jump on Jay? The guy abuses this list. Go back and take a look where JH has "Jumped" on me. You didn't answer the question. -- Bob Noel (goodness, please trim replies!!!) |

In my case, however, I wasted 35 years of my life on the ground, gazing skyward, never realizing how truly easy and accessible GA was... Hmmm, between R/C models and reading Richard Bach (the old stuff, of course, before he got New Age weird), I never had any doubt that I'd learn to fly (which I did, at age 16), or that it would be easy. -Dana -- -- If replying by email, please make the obvious changes. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Puritanism: the haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy. |

A housekeepers. I make a comfortable living as a senior instructor & staff member of a well-known part 141 school. I also am an A&P who will soon earn my IA and be moving on to a very different arena in aviation, one with far less physical work and much higher pay. Oh great, another delusional manager. Bertie Nope Bertie, no management for me (especially mid-level). Did you read IA? George |

The reporter quoted Jay as saying a commercial rating requires 500 hours. We're supposed to believe this was the reporter's mistake, not Jay's. |
