Hi,

Is this the most active web discussion group on homebuilts, or have one of
the Yahoo groups sites taken over most of the interest?

Thanks,

Steve Gubser

People can get what they want out of these newsgroups. If serious
questions are asked they are usually answered if someone has an answer.
Even then a lot of the replies are not really facts just opinions that
someone has on a subject. What I find interesting is the fact that
people who complain the most about content are the ones that never
contribute anything worth while. Also if all the lurkers go away because
of content then who needs them? People can make a newsgroup what they
want it to be, why don't all the lurkers out there post some serious
information instead of coming here once in a while and complaining about
content?

You will lose by not reading here, although you have to bulldoze the trash.
Or just walk over it.

Don't know...Don't use Yahoo groups.

The activity on RAH tends to vary a lot, both on and off topic.
Posting sometimes dwindles off, then picks back up.

I can't see as I've seen any great change over the years as a whole.

Yes, off topic, but permit this one final thought. Institutionalized
alcoholism is a fact of military flying.

Officer's Clubs, Stag bars (flight suit only), rolling dice for who
buys ... it's a macho pilot thing where the millitary will deny a
problem exists ... but in fact, they serve serve up the booze and
enable the whole drinking culture.

Most airline types are ex-military. Military has a "drinking
culture". You can draw the connections. Not to defend what they did
.... but perhaps to explain how they might have gotten there.

Where did you get your statistics? It was my understanding that the current
rank of airline pilots are about 50% military.

I used to drink alot when I was young, but don't anymore. What the
millitary members did while they were young has very little do with current
behavior.

Boy Jerry's right. No drinking within 50 feet of the airplane.
Everybody knows you can't drink your Kahlu'a and coffie and fly at the
same time. Why it's even hard to drink and steer on the ground. You
could hit a bump in the taxiway, spill you drink, it would drip down
to the cannon-plug connector on the nose steering hydro powerpack and
drown everyone on the reef taxiway at HNL. Thank God airport security
is there to again protect America from tradgedy. Instead of profiling
Mid-Eastern men carring Korans with crazed looks in their eyes,
security should spend their time sniffing the breath of airline
pilots. I agree. Just look at all the lives lost in the airline
world due to the pilots being drunk at the wheel! What? The're
arn't any? Well, ahem... in that case... It makes a great headline
right? Keeps ex-gang members and ilegal aliens employed guarding our
airports at minimum wage and 100% turnover. Oh thank God the TSA and
35 Skymarshals that are awake are protecting us..

To be continued.

Spill your drink? That's alcohol abuse!
