FWIW:

In an unrelated story, I received the following transportation-centric
e-mail two days ago, making it somewhat out-of-date. It's very long (9
page word doc pasted below as ASCII test), but perhaps it might have
some useful info for folks. There's some aviation info in there, so I
guess it's marginally on-topic for the newsgroups.


And thank you *very* much for passing it along.

And as I quickly scanned down through it, then saved it to my laptop
desktop for after-dinner reading tonite, I wondered:

* Will the average, non-newsgroup-reading, only TV-watching and USA
Today-reading U.S. adult have any real comprehension of the kind of
information that's in this document?

* Will the average allegedly informed, allegedly knowledgeable
**media** person -- TV reporter, anchor person, newspaper journalist --
in other words, the people all the rest of us are supposed to depend on
for news, information,a nd education -- actually have any substantial
knowledge of the kind of information in this document?

I doubt it.
