This is the only forum Chuck has to defend his honor.

That may be Corky but tell us why he has to hijack a thread like the
one he did today and try to change it's direction just because of his
personal battle with Zoom and Juan.

I heartily congratulate the American team led by Burt Rutan and piloted
by Mr Melville on their historic accomplishments..... so tell me why
can't Chuck do the same just for once and after that just keep his
mouth shut.

Don't you think that Burt Rutan and his whole team deserve that small
courtesy from the flying community in this newsgroup.... on this
historic day...???????

For someone with as much history and experience in aviation that Chuck
supposedly has, it seems that about the only time he comes into this
group is when he feels the need to blow his nose on his favourite and
only subject of interest. He doesn't normally offer flying stories,
tips on construction, congratulate others in this group for their
accomplishments. He doesn't get into discussions with the group
regulars on those types of subjects, instead he starts more threads on
Zoom and Juan than everyone else in this group combined.

A GOOGLE search for this group on the word Zoom shows 6960 returns.

Thats Zoom..... not ZZoom or Zooooom or Zooooomy or any other type of
derivative. Nor is it Juan or Yawn or any derivative of that either.

Right now on my newserver there are 6 active threads on Zoom and Juan
so tell me Corky isn't six ongoing threads enough for Chuck to defend
his honour.

There is an active thread about Spaceship one.... 153 comments from the
regulars in this group, and yet the first comment from Chuck took it
off topic and into the land of Zoom and Juan. He couldn't even leave
that one alone.

Corky when is enough on the subject actually enough on the subject.

Corky you mentioned Zoom taking Chuck to task on his ANN website
and how Chuck needs to come here to defend his honour.

WHY HERE.????????

Do you think that everyone in this group also follows ANN's website,
and do you think that everyone who reads ANN's website follows this
newsgroup.

And if they do follow this newsgroup, do you think it's to stay
informed about Chuck's personal ongoing battles with Zoom, or do you
think it's because ( like me ) they have a general interest in
homebuilt aircraft, and enjoy stories about people and from people who
are actually flying, or building their own airplane, and just enjoy the
general conviviality of people like yourself who share their interest
in aviation.
