Clearly, discussing airplane batteries is out in this news group.

How ever, it is perfectly permissible to talk about batteries for hotel
emergency lighting.

I didn't mean to pick on Jay, I have no objections to reading his
hotel/restaurant topics.

But his aren't the only non *piloting* topics here -- we have a topic
about two women perpetrating a scam (yeah, that's really about piloting
.... NOT!), guns, and many other non-piloting topics. I didn't see anyone
tell them to post that stuff elsewhere, so yeah, I was just a little
miffed to be told that *my* topic about airplane batteries didn't really
belong here! Obviously many rec.aviation.piloting participants are
airplane owners that no doubt have info about this.
