Well Chuck, I assume by your reply that something measurably positive is
being created by all of this bashing?

Granted there is some bashing in some of the posts but the point of the posts
is to instruct not bash for bashing sake. It evident to me that you missed the
point of the postings. Did you go to http://www.ousterhout.net/ to get some
background before assuming that there was no positives to all this? Did you do
any Google searches to get a feel for what this is all about or are you just
playing newsgroup censor?

In my opinion zoom is a phony and thru the years he has damaged many peoples
name ,reputation and livihoods, is this OK with you? I would hope not. I'm sure
the 2 companies he just sued at SnF for non payment of unwanted ads wish they
could have been informed before doing business with him. That's the positve
message.


I wish there was as much creative
information about homebuilts here.

There is loads of homebuilt info here and from time to time a zoom thread will
pop up, run a while and stop .No big deal. Maybe you don't realize that most of
the people and companies zoom has hurt are deeply involved in the homebuilt
field. People that he bullied into silence while he had his magazine where he
controlled the content and never ran a letter to the editor from a lot of us
defending our positions. His side was the only one heard for a long time.

Only thru the Internet and RAH in particular did those of us who were zoomed
have a voice. I never knew that there were more then a couple of us who had been
zoomed until I started posting my story on the net. Then the gates opened and
the truth about zoom was opened to the light of day. The list of those who have
been zoomed reads like a "Who's Who in homebuilt aviation" list.



If you look at the relative amount of
postings and the content, the name of the newsgroup might be better called
"Bashing Practice 101"

Maybe from you seemingly uninformed perspective it may seem that way but I
respectfully disagree with your conclusions.
