Rec.aviation.stories is not nearly as quiet as it has been over the
years.
It seems most folks are not terribly interested in investing the time
to create anything that remotely resembles a literary work; they'd
rather kibitz. But at least the rec.aviation.stories newsgroup still
exists, so there is hope...

Terrific!

As moderator of the rec.aviation.stories newsgroup, I have pledged to
adhere to the newsgroup charter. Anonymous articles are specifically
mentioned in the newsgroup charter. They are appropriate for that
newsgroup, because it is important to have a place where airmen can
speak freely about issues that may, for instance, be grounds for an
enforcement action without fear of reprisal. And because the
newsgroup is moderated, there is little fear that it will be trolled
by unaccountable mischief makers.
================================================== ======
rec.aviation.stories Anecdotes of flight experiences. (Moderated)
CHARTER:
A home for one of the greatest strengths of rec.aviation --
longer postings of stories and experiences, including
descriptions of cross-country trips, "I learned about flying from
that", airshow reports, and so on. The moderator will reject
shorter articles and subjects which aren't appropriate to the
group, and will ensure that articles meet minimum readability
standards (i.e., line lengths). Follow-ups will be directed to
other groups. It is expected that this group will typically
contain only one or two articles a week. Articles for anonymous
posting will be accepted.
