Would there be enough interest to do so, or are we willing to wait out the current
storm of political bumph? Let's see a show of hands as to how many people here would
want to start such a group. If there are enough, I might even be willing to moderate
it (more accurately, control the subscription list), especially if I could get a few
other volunteers to help screen subscription applications. I can think of several
regular r.a.m. posters who wouldn't make the cut, thus lessening the message volume
and aggravation level considerably, or we could put membership applications up to a
vote.

As one of the regulars that wouldn't make the cut, I have
to say I enjoy reading and sometimes responding to the
whackos. Furthermore, there are several posters here that
are so danged knowledgeable in anything they write, that
it's like a "course in general knowledge", not just military
aviation.

I'm sticking here and just ignoring the whackos, or arguing
with them when it suits me.

This NG without a Michael Petukhov? No GWB nuking Iraq
with DU? No Confederate naval blockade of the North?

Just wouldn't be the same!
