But thread drift isn't the only problem, it's threads that *start* as
political statements.




This thread did NOT start as a political statement. Someone from the
Angry, Loony Left immediately turned it into such, reflexively engaging in
character assassination.

You are claiming that a thread titled "McCain in '08" was not a
political statement? Incredible!

I went back and reread De Loon De Loon's OP.

1. It was ALL about GA.

2. It was refreshing to see DL DL not quote the entire previous post - for a
change. (DL DL, we talked about this!) ...it helped that it was a fresh
thread. g

3. Owing to DL DL's consistent views on all things Boyer, the subject line:
McCain in '08 was hilarious.

4. McCain is a US Senator. AOPA "President" Boyer deals with politicians,
daily. Of course it was a political post - relating to GA.

Thanks Montblack.

I broke my self-imposed ban on Rec GA when I read about the actual
exchange between Boyer and Senator McCain.

Glad you thought the "headline" was humourous, as I was trying to crack a
funny. Of course, making jokes about a guy like Boyer is pretty damned
easy, even for an amateur like me. There is just so damned much material
to work with there, and the man is dumb as a stick. His huge sense of
self-importance also helps.

Take care,
Da Loon, Da Loon.

Hey, Mont, look, they are hunting me down, in my adopted home state!!

OK the title was political. The attached commentary was GA related. I
should have titled it McCain vs. the Destroyer.

It's not just posts about politics in r.a.piloting, it's all posts not
related to *piloting*, that don't belong here. And a new newsgroup
won't fix those. For instance, the non-topical posts I see now a

. [ 2: hewson ] http://www.boycottliberalism.com/
. [ 23: Barney Frank ] Airline Jobs
. [ 12: Marco Leon ] Interesting New Squadron Slated For Cannon AFB

r.a.p is what r.a.misc should be, but isn't. Why, I'm not sure. I
guess pilots want to post in a piloting news group.
