Kyler,

I don't know why your chosen method of defending Usenet is by trashing
the efforts of other web sites. This is troubling and a bit
confusing. If you don't want to use our site to share your pilot
knowledge and experience, that's perfectly fine. In fact, you
probably wouldn't get much enjoyment out of it because it's not
designed to be a confrontational forum.

I think I've been very forthcoming in explaining what we're trying to
accomplish with Pilot Chronicles but for some reason you still feel a
need to question our integrity and motives. I assume that's why you
posted the name and address of my web development business -
information which is easily accessible to anyone by simply performing
a search of the whois database. This does however make me question
your integrity since you must feel it's OK to violate the terms and
conditions of the whois database by republishing it's data to a public
forum. Nevertheless, thank you for the free plug, Kyler. For those
of you that missed it, here's the contact info for my freelance web
design business:

And since you seem so interested in the "behind the scenes" of Pilot
Chronicles, here's a little something extra just for you Kyler... I'm
married with no children, my dog's name is Cider, and when I'm not
flying I'm either windsurfing or riding my '94 Harley Sportster. I
hope you'll sleep better tonight.

Before I end this post (and hopefully this thread) I did want to
respond to Thomas' comment regarding my use of the term "hair-raising"
experiences. I did not mean to imply that only death defying
experiences need apply. We are looking for any story that taught a
pilot a lesson. I will choose my words more carefully next time.
That's the kind of constructive critism I can use. Thanks Thomas.
