Flight over densely populated areas

Amazing that you even agreed. One building per sqare mile is hardly a
farm house per farm section. Don't count the barn. Thats crazy.
There is hardly any place you could fly in US with that definition.

regs

instruction
in my records that would be removed in 2 years if no other violations
of
this type occurred , I agreed to that.

Montblack, what do you mean by me not trimming my posts? Is it is
because some of the folks say the font is large? Some of the folks say
the font looks normal. Some of the folks say they have to scroll back
and forth to see it all and others say it is normal. On my machine my
post looks normal to me. What can I do to help prevent this? Looks to me
like the problem might be some of the others machine. Oh my, I just
looked in mail and NG settings and mine is set to compose in HTML and I
just changed it. Maybe that was the problem although it should have been
the same on everyones machine. I did or thought I had it to compose in
plain text and if a message came to me in HTML to ask me how to compose
it, which in that case I always said send in both plain text and html. I
don't know how it changed. Again tell me how to set it to make reading
easier.

Yes, I agreed when there was no fine of suspension. I know that the 1
building to Sq. mile is ridiculous and it wasn't even in the regs. I
have heard horror stories about what has happened to to people with the
ridiculous violations. I was happy to agree and get it behind me. And
no. I never did even check to to see if they purged it or what kind of
file they put in place if any. It has been so long now if something else
happened I would think it really wouldn't make any difference. I do
still have copy of the letter where they said it would be purged.

In your reply, you simply delete as much or little of the earlier
posts that are not relevant to your answer.

By the way, in about ten years on newsgroups, it's exceedingly rare
for someone, such as you, who has been called out for not trimming
posts, to respond so politely and intelligently rather than getting
defensive. I have to say- you da man!

Yeah, way to go. You might be at least, educateable! g

I usually trim all of the posters except the last one, and then, only leave
the part of the last post that I am replying to. If someone wants to see
earlier comments, they can back up a couple of posts.

My goal is to make it so the next reader can read my post without scrolling.
Of course, that is not possible, when I ramble on, too long. ;-)

I wholeheartedly second what Jim says above.

I got nudged on trimming my posts about 7 years ago. I've been nailed on any
number of other things since then. g
