I'll second Dan's observation. I've learned more about aviation on Usenet
than in all my years of hanging out at airports. And the chance to discuss
(debate?) issues of the day with such an intelligent crowd is simply
outstanding.


I'll third Jay's observation. These boards have been and continue to
be a tremendous help. In fact, I take this opportunity to thank
everybody who's provided input to my brilliantly soporific inquiries
since 2001.

I don't hang out at the airport any longer than I have too since I
work there. Besides, it's easier to flame and be flamed without
immediate physical repercussions on Usenet.
